Agree 100%.

In fact, O'Brien's CD, "Song Pilot" (Published 2001 by Flight Song
Records) is an entire CD of flying songs written by O'Brien, an
aerobatic pilot, EAA and AOPA member, and former member of the group
"Little Feat". We played that disk in our hotel lobby (on shuffle play
with 4 other disks) continuously for almost two years, until our
small-but-vocal staff threatened to mutiny if they heard it again!

Interestingly, I just noticed (after a search) that Little Feat's
current CD is called "Barn Stormin'" -- even though O'Brien isn't with
them anymore. I wonder if they all fly?

When exactly was O'Brien in Little Feat? 1965-1969?

What the heck is/was "Little Texas"? I've always thought/been told he was
with "Little Feat"?

Either way, it's a great album.

Especially when I'm taking people out who have never flown in a small
plane, I have "Come Fly With Me" queue'd up, ready to go when I get my
takeoff clearance. If I hit the button when I get the clearance, the
vocals usually come in just after we rotate.

I had a guy tell me after we tookoff that Sinatra and the experience
combined almost made him teary-eyed.

Enroute, I have a bunch of John Mayer, Dave Matthews, etc,
interspersed with stuff like "Learning To Fly" - Petty, and more
Sinatra with "Fly Me To The Moon"

The occasional obvious flying song keeps the mood light on the trip.

His "Unusual Attitude" is also good. However, his song "Biplane" can
bring a tear to the eye.

What's your favorite tune with a flying subject?

I vote for Stephen Stiles "Tree Top Flyer"


"My Bomber Flies 10,000 Miles" - Oscar Brand

"Give me Operations,"
"Bless 'Em All,"
"Throw a Nickel on the Grass, Save a Fighter Pilot's Ass," -- Oscar Brand

In the late 50s, Oscar Brand produced (three, IIRC) albums of aviation
songs, two military and one civil. These are a couple of them. The above
dated back to WW-II and Korean Wars and are sardonic and funny.

Oscar Brand's most popular song (yup, you can look it up).

scar Brand - Oscar Mayer Weiner Lyrics
I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner
That is what I truly wish to be
cause if i were a oscar mayer
weiner
everyone would be in love
oh everyone would be in love
everyone would be in love with me

I've got some news for "Skyloser."

He already IS a weenie! The sad part is: He doesn't know it!

One second Orville likes Oscar Brand, the next he calls him a "weenie."
Weird.

BTW, the lunar landing was a hoax, Orville.

I'd have to vote for Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone"...something about that
and the first few minutes of Top Gun that just seem to go together.
