Inaugural flying music

[Nosferatuwhisky 1-1]

Hey everyone!

 

So obviously everyone has some music they associate with flying, and everyone

thinks of TopGun whenever they think of the Tomcat.

 

But what about the Hornet? Anyone have thoughts?

 

I’m planning to do the start up procedure and taxi without any music, but maybe Highway to hell as I put it into burners for takeoff.

I don't know why but with the Hornet this song just keeps coming to mind

Oddly enough (As a diehard metalhead) I agree with you, it fits haha

[swatstar98]

Launch trailer should be with this song 10/10

[Swordsman422]

Wrong type of Hornet and a terrible movie, but maybe I'll play this one.

This will probably be my first flight music.

[Rilence]

 

 

I associate this music with the Hornet. That's the last time I've done any carrier operations in a sim, and I've been waiting to fly the Hornet again for 19 years. My hype could power a small city right now.

ArmA III "Jets" soundtrack:

[Gladman]

Motley Crue : Kickstart my Heart

 

 

[Nosferatuwhisky 1-1]

Ooo Kickstart would be perfect too!

Oh yeah? Didn’t play CFS2 for the fun WW2 carrier ops?

What about:

 

Tom Petty - Learning to Fly

Bon Jovi - Complicated

Savage Garden - Crash and Burn

 

:lol:

[Phantom453]

Great question Asator (OP). I hadn't thought about this and I don't have anything that comes immediately to mind as an F/A-18 specific theme.

 

So far I'd have to go with Gladman's suggestion - Motley Crue : Kickstart my Heart.

 

Perhaps once ED have selected a theme ED could hold a competition like they did for the F-5E with a member of the community doing their version of the theme (or part of it)?

Will get me up:pilotfly:

F18 Hornet Tribute.

I have always liked this video. 3 Doors Down "Kryptonite".

[Flying Penguin]

Yeah it's the family model Super Hornet, but it has to be this:

[cthulhu68]

This would work for me.

[TheBamse]

This will absolutely be my song :)

[TonyG]

Magic Carpet Ride.

[StrongHarm]

Flight of Icarus is a great idea!

 

Or this:

 

Or the dubstep version might be better for the Hornet (purists may disagree):

Yes. fitting indeed.

 

dont think to much of it. Only reason they went with the SH in that film instead of a legacy was because it was a Brand spaking new plane at the time and the US NAvy wanted to show off their new toy via Hollywood film if was anachronistic for the conflict. ( yea missile scene is what killed it TBH) but alot of people i know enjoyed the film who weren't into aviation.
