CCR's "Travellin Band" is about travelling the country by plane right? (That could only be part of it, I'm drawing a bit of a blank)

Thanks alot you guys.. .You ROCK!!!

See we ( me and friends) are on a float in an upcoming parade. The theme is history and we got Spirit of St. Louis, Lindbergs flight. So I have to come up with some background music. So I thought why not songs about flight.

Some great suggestions here.
