I'm a pilot and airplane owner who's been fascinated with tracking down old flying songs. This one is HARD to find! It was originally called, "The Dying Aviator". It was banned by the RAF in WWII for being bad for morale. Though it seems that isn't really true. I've liked it since I first saw this young Indy episode years ago. I even sang it to a friend thru the intercom while taking him on his first airplane ride. It made him a little nervous. I guess you have to fly to see the humor in it. :-)
I want to learn how to fly an airplane now! :)

@nearadyn RAF prolly banned it because it was a Yankee song. But silly limeys can't fly our avaiation machines. Hahah.

I remember watching this as a kid, this song makes so much more sense now that I know what all that stuff is.
