Musical Accompaniment to Fly Airplanes

[AggieMike88]

I need/want a new playlist for when I fly and have "new to general aviation" folks with me. And said playlist needs to have an aviation and flying theme. Something with aviation or flight in the lyrics, title, or artist name, or associated with flying (like Ride of the Valkyries and Danger Zone).

Please list your song suggestions here. Be sure to list both song title and artist.

Once this results a good list, I'll post somewhere where you can review and download it (like Spotify and iTunes).

To get us started....
Come Fly with Me -- Frank Sinatra
Ride of the Valkyries -- Richard Wagner
Top Gun Soundtrack (well, certain selections from it)
Leaving on a Jet Plane -- Peter, Paul, & Mary, or John Denver
War Hymn -- Fighting Texas Aggie Band (you didn't think I was gonna leave this out of the mix, did ya?)
Learning to Fly -- Tom Petty
Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) -- The Offspring
The Best of Jefferson Airplane
The Best of Buddy Holly or the Big Bopper
Learning to Fly –- Pink Floyd
I Believe I Can Fly -– R. Kelly
Fly By Night -– Rush
Time For Me to Fly -- REO Speedwagon
Space Oddity -- David Bowie (this is the "ground control to Major Tom" song)
Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron -- Royal Guardsmen
Surfin Bird – The Bird is the Word -- The Trashmen
Aeroplane -- Red Hot Chili Peppers
Paper Planes –- M.I.A
Learn To Fly -– Foo Fighters

Somewhat obscure, but I liked this when I ran across it several years ago. The flying shots (with the side window rolled slightly down) for some reason make me want to go earn a seaplane rating.

Edit: Theme from the television series Twelve O'Clock High.
