So very good to hear this again. One of the best songs ever!
@applesweeter - I love your humour! You must be a stewardess really! I started flying as cabin crew in 1968, and packed up in 2004; the only job I ever had, and it was fab. I remember playing this the night before going to Singapore once (we went every few months) and my fiancee had just broken off our engagement. Imagine theemotions and self-pity!
Hearing this took me right back there. Wasn't Rick Wakeman involved with them?
1) As i pilot i can tell you, that the feeling you get when you are flying is freedom, is fascination, is beauty, is adventure, it's many things. It's another world up there.
2) Same as 1.
3) An airport, as the name says, is a port to the air. A port represents a gate to new places, to new adventures, to new things to discover. It's a node between where you are now and every other place. And besides, one can enjoy being there watching airplanes come & go, or just admire them :)
Thinking of those days...Pentangle, Fairport Convention, MC, all that great Irish English American folk music ... is still here ! Re-discover, folks !
my bags packed,but i need some new strings(fuck the shite town that holds me down)

I saw them in concert at Fairfield Hall Croydon,ways back.
They were the supporting band who came on before Ralph McTell.
They blew me away then and still do.

Dear All,
I have some questions about psychology:
(1) Why do we love flying?
(2) Why does commercial flying is so amazing that we compose many so about it, including this "Airport Song"?
(3) Why do we enjoy to be at the airport?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

@superharryboy
Nice opinion!!
I have some more questions about your job:
(1) Why do you want to be a pilot?
(2) Why do you like your job?
(3) Why will be your self-imagine as a pilot?
(4) Why do people think that jobs related to aviation are professional?
(5) What will be your favorite food in the cockpit?

One of my favorite songs. Reminds me somehow a little bit of Toxic Girl, a song by Kings of Convenience.

Excelente canción.
Como todas las de este grupo en sus dos primeros discos.
Lástima que sean tan dificiles de conseguir las canciones de su primer disco que es una maravilla.
Esta es del segundo, también excelente.
Un saludo a los seguidores de Magna Carta.
