10 Best Aviation Songs

[sidesaddle]

I like:
Seal's rendition of "Fly Like an Eagle"
"Come Sail Away" by STYX makes me think of flying
"Time for me to Fly" by REO Speedwagon
"Blue Highway" by Billy Idol
But my favorite is "The Eagle and The Hawk" by John Denver (OK so it's a little old, great song though)

 

[Goose Egg]

Here's the songs that always remind me of flying:

Given to Fly -- Pearl Jam (ref my sig)
In My Tree -- Pearl Jam
Who You Are -- Pearl Jam
In Hiding -- Pearl Jam
Faithful -- Pearl Jam
Animal -- Pearl Jam
Dissident -- Pearl Jam
Red Mosquito -- Pearl Jam
Smile -- Pearl Jam
Go -- Pearl Jam
Expecting to Fly -- Buffalo Springfield
4th of July -- U2
Elvis Presly in America -- U2
Scarlet -- U2

That's all I can think of for now.

[ePilot22]

Magic Carpet Ride; Steppenwolf

 

[SeaLord]

Another longshot here...."Early Morning Rain" by Gordon Lightfoot. Kinda bluesy and folksy, and way too mellow, but they do talk about airplanes quite a bit.

 

[UnAnswerd]

Godsmack - "Re-align"
Rob Zombie - "Dragula"

 

[Fury220]

"Danger Zone" is for F4GS...worst aviation song ever.

"I'm a Pilot" by Dos Gringos ranks high -- hilarious...but the best aviation song has already been suggested: "Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd

 

[CrewResearch]

Didn't we just do a thread like this a few mos. ago?? I remember voting then for "Flying Sorcery" by Al Stewart -- from the late 70's, I think. And someone else here actually remembered it, too!

 

[172driver]

Leavin' On A Jet Plane -- Jefferson Airplane and many others

 

[English]

"I Don't Wanna Die in an Airbus" by my husband's band.

 

[Fury220]
