Flying in my PA28 from Tatenhill to Sandtoft on my qualifying cross country (QXC) during my PPL pilot training. Doncaster airport is very easy to spot and a useful reference point.

I had to learn how to fly.

Too bad It wasn't in my instinct to migrate.

Learn To Fly

By: Foo Fighters

Run and tell all of the angels

This could take all night

Think I need a devil to help me get things right

Hook me up a new revolution

Cause this one is a lie

We sat around laughing and watched the last one die

[chorus X2]

Listen to it here.

Learn to fly, it's real fun.

One, two, three, and it's all done.

Do what I say, say what I do,

'Cause I'm gonna teach it to you.

Put the left one over there,

And make it sort of sway.

Now wave the other in the air,

And soon you're on your way.

Now take a step before you start,

And don't be scared to try.

Just take a breath straight from the heart.

Now go ahead and fly.

And you can fly to the sky.

You can fly if you try.

Learn to fly, it's real fun.

One, two, three, and it's all done.

Do what I say, say what I do,

'Cause I'm gonna teach it to you.

If you can't go straight ahead,

Put that thing behind.

And if it starts to drag instead,

Don't pay it any mind.

All you've really got to do,

Is take off at the start.

And after that the other stuff,

Will be the easy part.

You can fly to the sky.

You can fly if you try.

You can fly to the sky.

You can fly if you try.

Now, one was great and two was good,

But three was not so hot.

Just be a buddy, if you would,

And do it like you're taught.

Try to make a fancy thing,

When you take off this time.

See if you can fly a ring,

As you begin to climb.

You can fly to the sky.

You can fly if you try.

You can fly to the sky.

You can fly if you try.
