[Physicspilot]

Is this song download-able? Whats the name?

[SRMeadows]

Sounds a little like Willie Nelson..........? Or is it just me? LOL

[BenPopPop]

@SRMeadows I get that a lot. I take it as a compliment. I love me some Willie Nelson music.

[TheodorKK]

i loved the footage at 1:36 it really made me get that feeling you get in a take-off. you know when the plane is accelerating and you can feel the wheels bounce a little... ahh thats a great feeling. i havent flown since october :( so i cant wait till i get back in the skies now :P

Awesome song and video!!! So glad I found it!!! It says alot , maybe you need to be a pilot to fully understand and appreciate...........Thank You!!!

[donlightbody]

Very nice!

[szaychuk]

I'm currently a student pilot (with another career) getting his private pilot license (for fun?) with 11.0 hours and I love this! :)

[george7378]

[soxeyer]

[Kosty19]

Great video and song! Thanks for sharing it!

I just started taking flying lessons...and its fantastic!

[1brushing1]

MP3 is available for download. Go to Yahoo groups and search for freedomsong group. Request membership. Once I approve you for membership, the MP3 is in the files section. It contains the full song with all three verses. Time constraints of the video required editing out of one verse.

[cessnaN60128]

A word of advice to anyone who wants to learn to fly since I'm taking lessons. Enjoy every moment of it because its worth it.

[tuutuutango]

Very cool and exceptionally well done. Loved the Staggerwing. My dad flew one and what a joy to see those birds from the Golden Age of Aviation.

[1brushing1]

My current airplane is a staggerwing. Not the Beech but rather a Hiperbipe. Love that staggerwing beech. One of the truly beautiful airplanes of all times.

[jpwsml]

What it's all about. Yeah!

[soxeyer]

man im lookin for someone who would take me up for no charge

[Sniper4195]

If you go to some air shows and talk to the right pilot, tell them that you are interested in aviation but you don't know if you would be willing to pay for lessons... I am a flight school student and we always volunteer at air shows, I have seen this happen many times!! GOOD LUCK!

[soxeyer]

beleive it or not i went up in an rv-6a which is an aircraft you build your self and its a really nice aircraft. PS it was for the young eagles program

[Sniper4195]

wow, thats pretty cool!!!!!!!! I've gotten a pilot to let me go up and fly a trainer P51 mustang once, it was the greatest experience I've ever had!

[aviator657]

Where can I get an mp3 of this?!

[1brushing1]

Go to Yahoo groups and search for the group "freedomsong." I created this group so people who want a downloadable mp3 of my song (it's free) can get it. The downloadable song has all three verses of the song. I will probably (if I remember) add a file with the song lyrics as well.

You will need to request joining the group when you get there. Once you have permission (from me) you will be able to download the MP3 of my song.

Glad you enjoyed it.
