Default Songs about Flying? Add to the List!

What songs can you name that are about flying, pilots or aviation generally?


First to come to mind:
Steve Miller Band - Jet Airliner
Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly

Maybe: Creed - higher
It's not really a song about flying but one could think so. I like it anyway!
