[Trebor]

I've always loved the music from Top Gun
also Van Halen's "Dreams" and "respect the wind" also I've loved "never say die" from iron Eagle

so, what's your fave aviation music? post the artist names and the song titles, please

Pink Floyd - "Learning to fly"

I've played amongst the clouds a few times while listening to this, fits perfectly.

Born on the wings of Steel by Kansas

Flight of the Valkyrie by Wagner

That works for me,

also Take my Breath Away by Berlin,
Johnathan Livingston Seagull by Neil Diamond - makes me think about flying long distances - could work for Mustang pilot going to Japan..
There were a couple of scores in Gladiator that made me think of 8th AF mission from start to battle and return..

Craig Baker's adaptation of the score from 'Arthur' really works for me for Thuds heading outbound on a Weasel strike

Battle Hymn of the Republic also hits the 10 ring

The official march of the german airforce, "Fliegermarch" by the austrian composer Hermann Dostal, written in 1912.

And I also like the "Luftwaffe March" from the movie "Battle of Britain", music by Ron Goodwin - the march was later renamed "Aces High" due to someone's nervousness about getting negative response from audiences in Britain, among others.
