Help me with Musicgroup Name Trivia
 
I need to do some trivia for work.

My topic was Airplanes. I need to come up with about 5 questions.

I thought about asking what music groups were named from aircraft of some type.

Jefferson Airplane
Led Zeppelin (sp)

Maybe Aerosmith.

Any others I can put on that list?

Any other Airplane trivia you suggest?

Thanks!

Burning Airlines

You could go the cheap route and include both Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship.

How about the Dead Kennedys?

There's an airpline tie-in to that, now.

Here are a couple pages of Airplane trivia:

Also, you could ask who the first person to fly across the Atlantic was. I can't remember their names, but it wasn't Lindbergh (he was something like No. 65). Before Lindbergh there were two pilots who flew a plane across the Atlantic (Nos. 1 & 2, but I can't recall their names), and there were two diregibles (with ~30 people on each one). Lindbergh was the first to fly solo across the Atlantic (and Amelia Earheart was No. 3)

Jefferson Airplane

As I understand it, Jefferson Airplane really has nothing to do with aircraft per se, it was apparently a joke conceived by a friend of Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, who named it after an imaginary blues musician - Blind Thomas Jefferson Airplane. The Jefferson Starship idea that later arose out of the Airplane probably has something to do with guitarist/lyricist Paul Kantner's interest in sci-fi

Found it.

The first nonstop flight across the Atlantic was made by Alcock and Brown, two British aviators, in 1919. Linbergh was the first to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic, that was in 1929.
