Aviation / airplane / pilot / flying related music

[FlyboyGil]

I have a bit of flying songs. Some rock, some folk, some classical, some movie themes. Here's a sample of some I have. I always pop in this CD when I go flying or to airshows.

Some of these get your heart pumping, others are melodramatic, and relaxing. Well I could go on. A small smattering. Enjoy

Sorry Stef was too busy drooling and trying to identify the engines to listen to the lyrics

How long have you had your mechanics license, Odd?

To me this all looked like just a bunch of work.....
 

(been working on those things for 20 years now.....)

[Mike]

I started to read from the beginning, thinking it looked familiar... and then I came across my reply from over 3 years ago haha.

Anything by Dos Gringos tends to be aviation related.

[Stef]

Just stumbled across this gem. As a guitar player I totally sympathize with this guy!

In the business school I work at, this song is taken as an example in marketing class. There are 2 strategies for consumers who go complain online. First, a strategy to find a resolution and second, a strategy to have vengeance. I let you guess witch category "united breaks guitars" fall into. "resolution finders" rarely get satisfaction but "vengers" always do. Even without being heard by 10millions, you will always be happy once you bitch online at a company who disrespected you.

They evaluate that damage to United Brand and the lost of market capitalisation to over 150Million$. It's been 2 years since this video was put online and still today, almost daily, peoples use this youtube video comments to talk about their stories with united bagage claims.

[Stef]

That's a really interesting story!! I guess I usually fall into category 1. A company really has to go a long way to make me seek vengeance. But then it has definitely deserved it. In this case they really deserved it too, it seems. Shows how important customer service is. Or having employees with common sense would be. But I guess they won't pay their package handlers handsomly, so what can you expect.

My guitar teacher once told me to never check in your guitar. Always take it as carry on. The flight attendants usually are friendly enough to find a special place for your baby. But then, I guess times have changed. They'd probably try to charge you extra nowadays. Also, when you travel with more than one guitar I guess the carry on luggage option becomes unrealistic at some point.
