Greatest Hits of Flying – Dan’s Aviation Playlist
I was flipping through my MP3 collection the other day and realized there are a LOT of great songs out there about flying (big hits too, not obscure songs). I created my “Greatest Hits of Flying” …or basically just a playlist of aviation related songs. Okay, I’ll admit “Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)” is stretching it, put I think this playlist of 14 songs ain’t too bad for us aviation buffs. Hopefully I didn’t’ miss anything too major. Check it out and let me know what you think! I even linked every song to iTunes if you need any of them… ENJOY!

I always liked the lyrics for this one.

Yeah, “Pretty Fly” is a stretch. A few others come to mind off the top of my head. “Jet Airliner” by the Steve Miller Band. “Flying High Again”, Ozzy Osbourne, though I don’t think he had aviation in mind with that song. “Up Up and Away”, the Fifth Dimension…if you’re into ballooning.
Most of all, I can’t believe you forgot “Snoopy vs The Red Baron”, a classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlf—13Q0g
