After the list of movies that an Avgeek must absolutely have seen, and in this day of music fair, here are the songs that he must absolutely have in his playlist.

Airport (The Motors), 1978

Because a trip inevitably starts in an airport.

Take my Breath Away (Berlin), 1986

The soundtrack of Top Gun and a song that marked a whole generation at least as much as the movie.

Lindberg (Robert Charlebois), 1968

To remember that Quebecair, Transworld (TWA), Nord-East, Eastern, Western and Pan-American (Pan Am) are airlines that really existed!

Aviateur (Véronique Jannot), 1988

Heu….aside from the kitsh side we don’t really see why she would have marked you (the song, not Véronique Jannot…)

Learning to Fly (Pink Floyd), 1987

Well, this is more the bird than the plane version of the flight we are talking about but it is so beautiful to listen to…

Danger zone (Kenny Loggins), 1986

Again for the nostalgic of Top Gun!

Learn to Fly (Foo Fighters), 1999

A very nice video clip…

Beautiful Day (U2), 2000

A trip is necessarily a “beautiful day”. If the song is not about airplanes, the video was shot at Roissy Charles de Gaulle which is a bit its guest star.

Aeroplane (Red Hot Chili Peppers), 1995

It wakes you up well after a good jetlag.

L’hôtesse de l’air (Jacques Dutronc), 1970

For those who have always dreamed of seeing the bottom from above, wearing high heels and having their buttocks in the air.

Fly Across the Moon (Rah Band), 1985

Here is more about space travel. The poor girl who lost the connection with her darling on her way to March.

Fly Me To The Moon (Franck Sinatra), 1964

Still in space travel, but with “The Voice” this time.

Concorde (Amaral), 2008

That’s the bonus gift and I’m sure you didn’t know it. A beautiful sad song for a beautiful bird that we miss so much.

Did we forget any?
