The vid is fantastic...

 

[AirMorgan]

Top of the World by Van Halen! I used it for my video and it sounds awesome.

 

[Photoflight]

Reach for the Sky - Social Distortion.

Not specifically about flying but taken out of context it could be.

 

[That Guy]

Every Dos Gringos song!

Especially "I'm A Pilot"! "Predator Eulogy" is another great one, too!

Reverend Horton Heat: Bails of Cocaine

http://www.enditpresents.com/mp3/revheatcocaine.m3u

Well, I was workin' on my farm 'bout 1982,
Pullin' up some corn and a little carrot, too
When two low-flying aeroplanes, 'bout a hundred feet high
Dropped a bunch o' bales o' somethin', some hit me in the eye...

So I cut a bale open, an' man was I surprised
Bunch o' large sized baggies, with big white rocks inside
So I took a little sample to my crazy brother Joe
He sniffed it up and kicked his heels, said, "Horton, that's some blow!"

Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' plane
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like a foriegn rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes

So I loaded up them bales in my pick-em-up truck,
Headed west for Dallas, where I would try my luck
I didn't have a notion if I could sell 'em there,
But, thirty minutes later, I was a millionaire...

Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' plane
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like a foriegn rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes

And now I am a rich man, but I'm still a farmer, too
But I sold my farm in Texas, bought a farm down in Peru
And when get so homesick, I think I'm goin' insane,
I travel back to Texas in a low-flyin' plane...

Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' plane
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like a foriegn rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes

I wish I could take up an f-16 and crank up Iron Maiden's "Tailgunner", really gets you pumped up

Iron Maiden - Tailgunner
========================

Trace your way back 50 years
To the glow of Dresden - blood and tears
In the black above by the cruel searchlight
Men will die and men will fight - yeah!
Who shot who and who fired first?
Dripping death to whet the bloodthirst
No radar lock on - skin and bone
The bomber boys are going home

chorus

Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner
You're a Tailgunner

(repeat)

Nail that fokker kill that son.
Gonna blow your guts out with my gun
The weather forecast's good for war
Cologne and Frankfurt? Have some more!
Tail end Charlie in the boiling sky
The Enola Gay was my last try
Now that this Tailgunner's gone
No more bombers (just one big bomb)

chorus

I have got to agree with lawndart, the best aviation songs are from Oscar Brand, I like the one that starts 'Don't give me a P-38...". And I really like lawndart's avatar.

In a spaceship over the mountain, is a a john Denver song, can't remember the title, but it may be good for Richard Branson!

How about you belong to me by Patsy Cline, or when you caught between the moon and New York city? He wrote it on a plane, or on the road again, by willie!!!!!!!

Or fly me to the moon, frankie sinitra!

or straighten up and fly right, a remake with Linda Rondstant!

Just Like Heaven
by the Cure

Don't ask me why, but it's always reminded me of flying and traveling.

 

[UGAflyer]

I believe I can fly - Me First and the Gimme Gimmes (they do a better version than R Kelly...and they don't pee on people)

Sweetness- Jimmy Eat World (not about aviation but good tempo)
