Day 83: Flying

Today's a pretty epic day in the history of flight. On this day in 1927, Charles Lindbergh completed the first transatlantic, nonstop solo flight. Then, in 1932 (the same year Lindbergh, like a dickhead, lost his kid) Amelia Earhart became the first broad to accomplish the same feat (though she did it far less impressively, landing in Ireland, whereas Chuck landed in France).

For today I put together a list of songs about flight. There are a lot of them.
