Inaugural airfield and music?

As I’m sure many if not all of you saw in the Hornet thread.

What airfield will serve as your first point of departure and what music will

accompany you in the air?

I’m thinking I might use Kutasai since I’ve got all my planes set up for cold starts

on a fall afternoon with some targets at the abandoned airfield on the coast.

Clear skies with a little bit of a crossways headwind over the active runway, 26 I think it is.

Thinking some Righteous Brothers.

Whichever airfield is going to be on the training mission. As for music I think I would start by listening to the provided album.

Airfield? Like, on the land? Where the zoomies fly out of? Ha! Whatever CATOBAR carrier is available. And probably blasting some Moondragon while I'm at it. Maybe this track.

I’m not taking the Cat or Hornet near a arresting cable until I’m fairly competent with the bird.

Whatever field Cobra and company put the cold start training mission..

On my own? Probably Nellis on the NTTR map at sunset.

Not really sure why there is a ? associated with the title.

Carrier, Highway to the Dangerzone. Its the only option.

Carrier, mighty wings !

Or....<shifty eyes> I could play some Queen "One Vision" just because its truly epic flying music. Yes yes I know it's from Iron Eagle but damn it I love that movie !

Tonopah on NTTR, the very first time. I have to echo the sentiment that I don't want anything to do with a trap until I can prove to myself that I can consistently bring it in, centerline and on slope at Tonopah Test Range.

Top Gun had the better airplane, and everyone loves The Danger Zone, but I'm of the opinion that Iron Eagle had the better soundtrack.

Don't you mean, Faster than the speed of love?

family guy fans?? anyone?

Batumi.

Grieg - In the Hall of the Mountain King.

If I time it right, leaving the runway when the crescendo reaches its peak.

Either that or Berlin's Take My Breath Away, just for the Top Gun cheese.

Groom Lake AFB in dawn

danger zone is a must for the f14, but what has proven itself as good soundtrack in the viggens tape player is 'keep your eyes peeled' from QotSA

Whatever carrier looks best, and 'First Flight' from the Ace Combat 5 soundtrack.

I’m thinking of a little start up, taxi, takeoff play list.

Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers

You’ve lost that lovin feeling by the Right Brothers

Sitting on the sick of the bay by otis Redding ( if needed )

Great Balls of Fire by Jerry lee Lewis

long tall sally by Little Richard

for taxiing

Upon releasing the breaks and punching full burner I’ll kick in Danger Zone.

Now that I’m thinking about it, I may just put on the music by Meteor haha

This is an acceptable course of action.

Batumi and the intro song to TopGun, and the same when I'm on the carrier for the first time

And probably then the entire TopGun soundtrack while I fly.

Creech AFB or Tonopah AFB and the Tomcat's engines. :joystick:

Using flightsims since many decades but can't imagine listening to (distracting) music while flying, or even in the menu. A contributing reason might be that listen to music while flying IRL is a definite no-go.

Dumping drop tanks over populated cities, going supersonic 6m over a football stadium, using random cars and houses for target practice. With all the thing I do in game that are a no-no in real life listening to music is pretty far down the list.

I will probably fire up the entire Top Gun soundtrack while the F-14 is downloading and launch off the nearest catapult as soon as possible.

This...https://youtu.be/2xji5tRVxTI. Makes we wish I still had the original LP(album) of the soundtrack I bought in my teens.

Think again. Lol.

Between bombing random houses and listening to music i never figured listening to music would be the less realistic option. Guess I'm a better sim pilot than I thought. Kinda puts my workplace screwups into perspective.

I'll be taking off from the Carl Vinson, for sure. I was going to say I'll listen to Meteor, which I certainly will, but I think I might have to start with dangerzone.

That said, I can't decide between the theatrical version or the psychostick cover...

All excellent choices.

Long Tall Sally, in particular.

Somewhere in the Indian Ocean. Present day.
