Iron Maiden, "Aces High" could work for just quick burst of action. Show a group of Spits taking off from a Runway, climbing up, and then they meet 109s and 190s and we see a twisting turning dogfight. Could Rock. WOuld probably bring in Younger players too.
I belive HT said his target audience was like 25 to 55 so the Younger Portion could probably dig Aces High the 40 to 55 folks may not. (I am 36 and like Iron Maiden.)
I think the folks who watch "The History Channel" are more toward that 40 to 55 portion of the Age scale, but I couldn't swear to it. Anyhow I don't see the dynamic there. Plus HT would have to get Permission from Iron Maiden, and although they may go for it, once they see the Game, I think they would want more than HT would be willing to Shell out. (Remember Bill Gates gave the Rolling Stones $14,000,000 for the rights to use "Start Me Up.")
"Also Sprach Zarathusa," the "2001" music could be used, and I believe lends itself to 30 sec increments.
How about "The 1812" overature?
Pink Floyd "Learnig to Fly," or "Dogs of War."
Sammy Hagar "Heavy Metal," or "Where Eagles Fly."
George Thouroughgood and the Deleware Destroyers "Bad to the Bone."
Sweet, "Ballroom Blitz."
Accept "Balls to the Wall."
Axe "Knock Down Drag Out Rock-n-Roll Party In the Streets."
Uriah Heep "Stealing."
Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight."
Damn Yankees "High Enough."
Foo Fighters "Learn to Fly."
Jimmy Hendrix "Red House," (I just love that song) or "Little Wings."
the Stevie Ray Vaughn Version has no vocals.Metallica "One," or "Hero of the Day."
Queen "We Will Rock You," or "We Are the Champions."
Puff Daddy
Featuring Jimmy Page Come with me from the Godzilla Soundtrack.
Steve Miller "Fly Like an Eagle."
Pachelbel "Canon in D Major."
"Gary Owen"
Drum and Fife I had a Civil War Northern Re-enactor band doing this in fife and drum, but my dad obsconded with it, and I haven't gotten it back. If you have ever seen little big man, it is the tune the 7th Calvary Band is playing during the recreation of the "Wahshedah River Masacare." Twas Custer's favorite piece of marshall music, and I admit to a fondness to it, though I am not fond of killing Native Americans.
Muddy Waters "Mannish Boy."
The Blues Brothers w/The Blue Brothers Band (Featuring Matt "Guitar" Murphy) "B-Movie Boxcar Blues."
Obviously some of these have nothing to do with flying, but they are cool.
