Nobody's added "Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd yet?

I like it better today than when it was first on the radio.

I agree with doraninefan. "learning to fly" by Pink Floyd is great even down to reading the checklist in the middle of the song

There is a CD by the name of "Song Pilot" done by Dwayne O' Brein, that has some real good aviation theme songs. I believe Ed Shippley use's some of Dwayne's music as background for Heritage Flight performances.

[quote="dors"]Learning To Fly - Pink Floyd

I always thought the lyrics went "Turn Time Twisted just an earthbound misfit....", as in Turn, Time, Twist, Throttle, Talk. (For those with IFR ratings).

When I found out it was "Tongue, tied, twisted" I was dissapointed!
