Destined to be shorter than the "trains" thread, but what the hell!
Destined to be shorter than the "trains" thread, but what the hell!
I don't know about the thread being short, but this will surely be one of the shortest clips posted:
Blackfield - On the Plane (from Welcome to My DNA; the worst song on that album IMHO)
The 5th Dimension - Up, Up and Away (the song is about a balloon but it was used in TV ads for airlines)
Joni Mitchell - This Flight Tonight
Joni Mitchell - Amelia
Pink Floyd - Learning To Fly
Jimmy Webb - Land's End/Asleep On the Wind (if a glider qualifies as a "plane")
There are lots of songs about flying, but most of them don't mention the means of flight, leaving it open to interpretation whether it's in a plane or on the wings of an eagle or something else.
Eno ~ "Burning Airlines Give You So Much More"

801-Flight 19?
