I've been thinking of burning a cd using songs that have a flying theme to it.

Vertigo doesn't have much to do with flying IMO,but I do love it so.

Buaetiful day(still can't spell it) is more asociated with aircraft tough.

Didn't we do this before?

Sky Pilot - Eric Burdon & The Animals

Leaving on a Jet Plane - the Jimmy Coup version that they used in the into to airline...

I appreciate the minimal (please note sarcasm here) help.
I wasn't aware this had been done before guys, but that's what happens when you don't read long-dead posts.

Anyhow, now that I've free time again I can settle on a lineup of music suited to please.

Up Up and Away - 5th Dimension

Eight Miles High - The Byrds

But I think that's about a different kind of flight and it has nothing to do with this picture.

Some good suggestions, Webb, thanks, sincerely.  As long as the artist, song title, or lyrics mention anything to do with flying (and the music is good) I won't hesitate to consider it.
Among others considered on that basis:
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - Beatles
Low - Cracker
ya'll get my drift.

There's a band of a couple of USAF F-16 pilots with some hilarious aviation themed songs. They're on itunes, but considering the "mature content" of some of their songs I won't mention the name here, just in case any under 18's go looking!

Here's a (clean) sample of one of their songs, called "World War III":

"I was down in Southern Watch flying my F-16
When lead called for the picture and AWACS came back

Looks pretty cool, C, thanks for the input.
