Anyone ever try this?
I figured this out when I was about 14 and flying to my aunt's house in Austin. I popped Appitite for Destruction in my handy WalkMan, and passed Play just as the plane started to roll down the Tarmac.

500+ flights later, I haven't been able to take-off without at least mentally thinking my way through the intro to Welcome to the Jungle. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to put the two together in a video.

Enjoy...

Actually, I tend to imagine "Danger Zone" from Top Gun. Different generations, I guess.

Lol. What a happy video! You did well to make this without the FAs noticing! For some reason I find myself humming Thunderdome now.... But Danger Zone also does the trick for we Gen Xers.

Danger zone is a little too clich for me. The Top Gun Anthem if anything...

Jungle just builds nicely. To each his own I guess.
