I'm not sure this counts as the radio, but I didn't want to make a new topic for this, so I'm posting it here.

I recently visited Disneyland, and there's a
fast food restaurant (they sell fast food, but it's a sit down restaurant) that has an airplane/flight theme, and they only play airplane related songs. Basically, they have a tape they've recorded airplane songs on to and they play these 10 or 15 songs or so over and over again. One of those songs is Airline Amy.

So, there's a restaurant in Disneyland that plays Airline Amy every 45 minutes or so.

That's the Taste Pilots' Grill in Disney's California Adventure, right next to the big Soarin' Over California ride. That's awesome! I go to Disneyland all the time, and I've even eaten at Taste Pilot's a few times, and I never knew that!

That eatery has been around since DCA opened in 2001, so they've likely been playing "Airline Amy" (alongside Elton John's "Rocket Man," Peter Paul & Mary's "Leaving On A Jet Plane," Peter Schilling's "Major Tom (Coming Home)" etc.) for nine years straight!

Yep, that's it!

It's kind of cool knowing another WOWAYer has been to where I have.

Well, yeah, I know. I'm not saying it's a coincidence or anything. It's just a cool thought.

Sadly, it seems the only way to hear him on radio anymore is if you have Satellite Radio. They've played him on some of the comedy stations.

My only hope is our local college station, who occasionally plays him at random times.

I still hear Al music pretty regularly on the clean comedy channel LaughUSA (Channel 105) on Sirius. I wish they played more of it on "80's on 8" since that's what I listen to most.

Al was on XM kids occasionally, and it would always be "The Saga Begins".

That always bugged me.
