Flying Songs

I am one of the hosts of the podcast/radio show - hangar49.info.
It is the no.1 most listened to aviation podcast in North America / getting close to no.1 in the world.
Every week I have to feature a song that has some (any) connection to do with flying.
As you can imagine, after 2 years it is getting harder to find new/unused songs featuring flying.
So I am asking for help - please reply with ANY flying songs that you know - I'll know most of them - but I am sure there will be some diamonds that will surface.
July 6 - 10 you can hear us live on Arlington Radio - new show every day 1:00 p.m., repeating 7:00 p.m. and the best of the last 2 years - running nightly every night from midinght until 7:00 a.m.

Thanks

One of my late husband's favorites -- "Silver Wings," by Merle Haggard.

Off the top of my head, a favorite of mine is "On the Wings of Love" by Jeffery Osborne. I'm sure to think of more, given a little time.

How about "Sky Pilot" by Eric Bourdon And The Animals (it at least originally was in two parts due to the song's length), "Fly Like An Eagle" by the Steve Miller Band as well as the American Military (United States Air Force) song "Off We Go Into The Wild Blue Yonder?"

Tonyrob;

You lookng for specific titles about flying or referencing flying like "Leaving on a Jet Plane"-John Denver or is just mentioning flying, ala the Beatles "Back in the USSR":
Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
Didn't get to bed last night
Oh, the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man, I had a dreadful flight
I'm back in the USSR
You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the USSR, yeah

?

I've come up with some more songs that deal with flying in one way or another --

1). "Up Up And Away" by The Fifth Dimension;

2). "I Am The Walrus" by The Beatles;

3). "Eight Miles High" by The Byrds;

and 4). "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf.

Jimmy Buffett is a pilot and he's sung about it numerous times. I won't remember many.
Two that come quickly to mind:
Strange Bird
Jamaica Mistaica -- about the Jamaican air force shooting his plane

He mentions flying commercial in several songs that come to mind. Three of my favorite songs:
No Plane on Sunday ("Go to the bar and have a few beers, there's no way, that bird's getting through")
Love in Decline (having sex on a plane, see lyrics below)
Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful ("He's on his third drink before the wheels of the plane leave the ground. Making points with the stewardess high over Long Island sound").

Love in Decline lyrics:
Left one in the drizzling rain
Found one on the morning plane
Leaving out his well-known line
Bought her some gin - that did her in
Now they're making love behind the occupied sign
Just a livin' example of love in decline
