Aviation song for US?
In German there are two songs which could be considered the anthem of
aviation: The upbeat "Flieger, grüß mir die Sonne" ("Pilot, greetings to the sun") from the movie "F. P. 1 antwortet nicht", 1932, sung by Hans Albers (http://www.drachenflieger.org/media/flieger/index.htm) And the more melancholic "Über den Wolken muß die Freiheit wohl grenzenlos sein" ("Above the clouds freedom must have no limits") by Reinhard Mey, 1970th(?); sorry, couldn't find any online version. Question: is there something similar in the US? _The_ aviator song? jue |

"Rocket Man" by Elton John? "Sky Pilot" by The Animals? http://www.rjsmith.com/skypilot.html "Aeroplane" (Red Hot Chili Peppers)? http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/red-hot...rs/114791.html In any event, it's definitely not "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins |

Originally the "Army Air Corps Song", now "The Air Force Song". Funny what sticks deep in the memory banks and can come right back to the surface many decades later. To (mostly) finish the above: Off we go, into the wild blue yonder, Flying high, into the sun. Down we dive, spouting our flame from under, At 'em, boys! Give her the gun! (Give her the gun now!) Up we climb, da da da da da da da da, Off with one hell of a roar. We live in fame, or go down in flame, (Shout Nothing can stop the Army Air Corp!!! (with which I never had anything to do) And there's also "Come, Josephine, in my flying machine . . . " |

I always thought it was 'Danger Zone' by Kenny Loggins.
Either that, or 'Into the air, junior birdmen'. |
