For all the underdogs and black sheep, I nominate the theme song from Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines.

BTW, "Leaving on a Jet Plane" was written by John Denver. Peter, Paul & Mary covered it, but John Denver wrote it and also recorded it.

For anyone that uses Spotify, I have compiled all the songs listed here, plus several more that crossed my mind into a playlist for everyone to enjoy. If you can think of any more songs, I'll happily add them! There were a few songs on the extensive list by the OP that were not on Spotify but here it is. 201 songs about airplanes and flying!

How come no one mentioned the song on Youtube "You can always go around"?

I'm quite fond of Goldfapp's "Fly Me Away".
On another note, I was distinctly uncomfortable sitting at an airport departure area many years ago (can't remember where) and the airport music playing was "Fire And Rain".

Peter Koelewijn - KL 204
A Dutch song (Peter Koelewijn is a Dutch artist) about a KLM flight out of Amsterdam. Strange enough KLM never used the number 204 for any of their flights so it's entirely fictional.

Couldn't see it in the list - but from my childhood - Supertramp, Breakfast in America:
"Take a jumbo across the water, like to see America"

Re: Favorite Song about aviation?
Hey guys,
‘Sydney from a 727’ by Paul Kelly off his ‘Comedy’ album…
Also, I just read about a Russian song that was apparently a big hit decades ago in Russia about flying from Moscow to Odessa on Soviet-era Aeroflot… in a brilliant book on the history of Aeroflot!
Plus, In my vinyl music collection, I have an album of Greek music bought specifically for its cover photos of an Olympic 707…. If I could read Greek or understanding the language, I would know if the songs on the album are about 707s!!!
Take care

5 Miles Out.....Mike Oldfield....There's a Be-18 (or Lockheed 10) on the cover
High Flying Bird.....Zephyr
Traveling Band.....Creedence Clearwater Revival...."737 coming out of the sky, take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride
Teterboro Tower.......Arthur Godfrey.....1950s. He was a pilot as well as an entertainer. He buzzed Teterboro tower for real. I believe he was flying a DC-3
Someone posted 8 Mile High and it really is a song about flying. Look up the interview. Not drugs
