Aces High by Iron Maiden! All about Spitfires:

" Bandits at eight o'clock move in behind us.
Ten ME 109's out of the sun.
Ascending and turning our Spitfires to face them.
Heading straight for them, I press down on my gun..."  

Glad to see somebody remembers that one Hawker!!! The lines you wrote were on the tip of my tounge!! I did not want to post those becuase I could not remember it!!  Great metal band, kind of went down hill after that album!

Does "Fling High Again" by Ozzy Osbourne count?  LOL

Gentlemen! The Beatles.

Back in the USSR:

Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
Didn't get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man, I had a dreadful flight.
(The song begins with the sound of an Airliner landing)

Also a song which goes something like:

Boeing, Boeing 707,
Going, Going skywardly, heavenly.

Don't know the artist but I presume the name to be "Boeing 707"

it may be cheeezy or i might be old but i like rob zombe to Tchaikovsky

but like this one alot

John Denver - The Eagle And The Hawk
just 2min long but

I am the eagle I live in high country
And rock cathedrals that reach to the sky
I am the hawk and theirs blood on my feathers
But time is still turning they soon will be dry
And all those who see me and all who believe in me
Shier in the freedom I feel when I fly
Come dance with the west wind
And touch on the mouton top
Sail over the canyons and up to the stars
And reach for the heavens
And hope for the future
And all that we can be
And not what we are


i think it covers a lot of moods and like to cfs 2 to it lol gets me in a flying killing mood and thinking of the American way of life

"up where we belong" by joe cocker?
but i think,that this song was a religious one...at least it was used for the lufthansa-publicity in the mid-1990s.  ::)

Creedence Clearwater Revival
"TRAVELIN' BAND"

Seven Thirty Seven comin' out of the sky.
Oh! Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride,
I wanna move.

I just found this one by Elvis. Was in the Movie "Men In Black"

Promised Land

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia,
California on my mind.
Straddled that Greyhound, rode him past Raleigh,
On across Caroline.

Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill,
And we never was a minute late.
We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown,
Rollin' 'cross the Georgia state.

We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle,
Half way 'cross Alabam,
And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown Birmingham.

Straight off, I bought me a through train ticket,
Ridin

Promised Land

Thought it looked familiar. Originally written & recorded by Chuck Berry. 1964

[Iroquois]

Flying North by Thomas Dolby.
He was popular in the mid 80's and wrote mostly science and mechanical themed songs. I believe his song "She Blinded Me With Science" was the first video MTV ever played.
