Flying

On this date in 1903 the Wright brothers made the first successful airplane flight near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. So let's mark the occasion with a set of songs about planes and flying. We'll schedule that for take-off.

If you're not yet a WFUV member, isn't it time to straighten up and fly right? An anonymous friend of the station will match whatever you donate today up to $20,000, thank you!

Hear your requests weekdays after 9 a.m.
Today's set:

• Nick Lowe "Christmas at the Airport"
• The Beatles "Back in the U.S.S.R."
• Lucinda Williams "Sharp Cutting Wings"
• The Box Tops "The Letter"
• The Kinks "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman"
