Here it is! The single version of Sky King and also my featured submission for  furry_musicians. With it being my featured submission there, I decided to release it via FA, but with that being said it will also be live on all streaming platforms on 07/14/2025, so keep an eye out for that!

This song tells a short version of the events that transpired on August 10th, 2018 out of Sea-Tac international airport when a baggage handler stole an aircraft to end his own life. Subsequently, he became kind of a folk hero amongst the population after the ATC recordings were released. While looking at this incident, a lot of people online referred to the man as “Sky King” and the idea for the song was born.

Lyrics:

Just a broken man
Who never meant to land
He played a few games
And flew his way to fame
To the Olympics
Mt. Rainer in his sight
They tried to ground him
At McChord but he
Kept on with his flight
Sky King

Once a simple baker
From the Oregon coastline
He moved his family way up north
To have a better life
A poorly paid employee
For a filthy rich airline
Minimum wage is
What he said was the
Cause for his crime
Sky King

He did a few stunts
A barrel roll and some loops
The dash 8 that he did take
Was running out of fuel
So he pointed the nose down
Down towards the ground
He’s crashed that plane into Ketron
To never be found
Sky King
