If I went to an airshow and they are playing music thru the PA, I will leave.
But I guess you don't care. Do you?

Nope.
For 3D with a large airplane, I love Con Te Parti (Time to Say Goodbye) by Andreas Bocelli. For smaller airplanes (funfly type) something more upbeat (Glen Miller "In the Mood" is good). Rock and roll is less dynamic in nature, seldom with small pauses or good points to set up for the next figure but if your flying style is more one sided, then anything that keeps a beat works well. I really like Peter Gabriel's "Solisbury Hill" with its nice relaxed feel and flowing nature. It gives good bars for hestation manuevers as well as smooth, rolling figures.
You best bet is to try a ton of music and then find someone who can nicely mix a four minute CD with about 3 different tunes. It is also nice to begin and end on the same music to bring a returning theme to the flight. And remember, choose music to fit the airplane. Smaller, quicker airplanes need faster tempos, larger airplanes need slower tempos.
