🛫 Top 10 Rock & Hip-Hop Flying Songs

For property managers who spend more time navigating elevators than airports — but still dream of upgrades.

  1. 🎸 Steve Miller Band – “Jet Airliner”
    Big ol’ jet airliner… stuck circling Midtown waiting for a landing slot near Hudson Yards.
  2. 🎸 Paul McCartney & Wings – “Jet”
    The man named his band Wings. The song’s called Jet. It’s practically an FAA-approved anthem.
  3. 🎤 Far East Movement – “Like a G6”
    For the property manager who upgrades from rush-hour LIRR to private helipad dreams.
  4. 🎸 Tom Petty – “Learning to Fly”
    Because getting through a DOB inspection without delays feels like takeoff.
  5. 🎸 Foo Fighters – “Learn to Fly”
    For those Mondays when you need more than caffeine to get airborne.
  6. 🎤 Missy Elliott – “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)”
    Supa Dupa Fly = the ultimate elevator playlist for retrofitted luxury towers.
  7. 🎸 Lenny Kravitz – “Fly Away”
    Probably written while trying to find parking on the Upper West Side.
  8. 🎤 Alicia Keys – “Fly Away” (B-side deep cut)
    When the service elevator breaks down again, and you mentally check into JFK Terminal 4.
  9. 🎸 Jefferson Airplane – “White Rabbit” (Jet-age counterculture vibes count)
    Less about lift-off, more about altitude — but still belongs on any trippy tarmac playlist.
  10. 🎤 B.o.B ft. Hayley Williams – “Airplanes”
    Can we pretend that cargo lifts in the sky are like shooting stars? Yes. Yes, we can.

✈️ Bonus Boarding Pass:
The B-52s – “Roam”
Technically about driving, but with a name like a bomber plane, they fly in under the radar.
