Hear the mighty engines roar See the silver bird on high She's away and westward bound Far above the clouds she'll fly Where the morning rain don't fall And the sun always shines She'll be flying o'er my home In about three hours time
Gagarin was the first back in 1951 when like Icarus undaunted, he tried to reach the sun. And he knew he might not make it, 'cause it's never hard to die. But he lifted off the pad, and rode a fire in the sky.

And I dreamed I saw the bomber death planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
"Woodstock," Joni MItchell and Crosby, Stills and Nash
I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again
Leaving On A Jet Plane ~
as sung by Peter, Paul & Mary in my head, written by John Denver
Well I dreamed I saw the silver space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
Neil Young, "After the Goldrush" (which I've quoted a time or three before)
With my dry eyes I watched your plane
Fade off west of the moon
No Regrets
Tom Rush
"Beep beep, boop boop, Hello there."
Sputnik sails giggling through the skies.
Red flags, red faces, jump in the race as
the space age begins with a surprise.
Surprise

Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky, panic bells, it's red alert, there's something here from somewhere else ..

Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
She's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flying o'er my home
In about three hours time
Early Morning Rain
Gordon Lightfoot
up, up and away in my beautiful balloon
Fifth Dimension
He waited his whole damned life
To take that flight,
and as the plane crashed down,
he thought, "well isn't this nice".
Ironic - Alanis Morisette (sp?)
Well you've cracked the sky
Scrapers fill the air
Will you keep on building higher
Till there's no more room up there?
Where Do the Children Play?
Cat Stevens
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
The Star Spangled Banner
A ship out on the ocean, a speck against the sky
Amelia Earhardt's flying sad that day...
And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus,
Leaving Levon far behind.
Take a balloon and go sailing,
While Levon, Levon slowly dies...
~Levon, Elton & Bernie
The bullets are flying, the body count's rising...
"The Night Santa Went Crazy," Weird Al
Come Josephine, in my flying machine and it's up she goes....
I don't know who wrote it but it's in the movie "Titanic"
Chitty chitty bang bang
Chitty chitty bang bang
Chitty chitty bang bang we love you...

Found a little piece of heaven on a 747
And no one else can take me higher than Airline Amy

Superman, flies high way up in the sky,
cause we believe he can.

"Fire in the Sky" - Jordin Kare
Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky.
Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
Goodbye Blue Sky from Pink Floyd's The Wall
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
And the buildings scrape the sky
"Don't Let it Bring You Down," Neil Young
I thought that they were angels
But to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship
And headed for the skies
"Come Sail Away," (I know it best by Eric Cartman...)
