Their lead singer, Bruce Dickinson (not the 'more cowbell' Bruce Dickerson from SNL) is a rated 757 Captain and flew the group on it's 666 world tour a couple of years ago.

How about some Pat Benetar, Texan on Texan action and a bit part by a young Bill Paxton?

Tom Petty, "Learning to Fly" has some good boneyard shots

Let's not forget Ultravox from 1982: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDspWsK_-vQ

Gary Numan, big hit was "Cars" is flying the plane in this vid of his: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDwui2n0rd8
Some years ago a Brit music mag had a write-up on him owning a T-6 and flying airshows in it. Last tour I saw him he performed wearing a flight suit.

As for Bruce Dickinson, I have had the fortune of meeting him a number of times and he is the nicest person in rock and roll ever. He is crazy for aviation, and a most down to earth individual. Back in the 90"s when he was working on his commercial ating he owned a Zlin, and enjoyed aerobatics.

Meatloaf's "Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are."
It tells the story of two young boys who dream of flying. It has a Tiger Moth and a Bucker (seemingly used interchangably) and Stearman in the background.

Also, The Highwaymen's (Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, et al) Highwayman.
It has an F-20.

If you're into mid 80s rock...The Clash's video of "Rock the Casbah" has a Vietnam-era camo Phantom landing in it. It was current at the time, now it's a warbird.

And a bit more modern, (rather like the F-14s in the Top Gun video) the UK group Oasis uses British Army Lynx helicopters in their video of "D'You Know What I Mean?"
The video was obviously made with Army cooperation, but a few years later they forced the removal of one of their songs from a recruiting ad saying they were against the war and military. Can you spell hypocrite?

I still love Benatar's "Shadows of the Night", as mentioned above.
Anyone know if the Mustang ad/poster seen in the video is a real ad or just a prop?

Leave me breathless by the Coors features a DC-3 and the whole video takes place at an old airfield. And they are hot.

I wanna love you forever by Jessica Simpson features her and a biplane. I can't remember what kind, maybe a Waco? Plus she is hot.

The Pat Bennatar video also has the guy that went on to play a cop in the Beverly Hills Cop movies.

Night Ranger: 7 Wishes

I know this does not count as a "video" as such, but the album cover art sure is pure Warbird. Found the LP in the local HalfPriceBooks and just had to buy it and hang the album on my wall.
