Pappy55 1 Posted July 8, 2011 I was bored the other evening and decided to watch Aces High for the first time in years.. Anyway for those that have seen it, in the mess they sing avation related versions of popular songs of the era which is just the same tune with flying lyrics They include "My Bonnie lies over the ocean" "keep the Home Fires Burning" (Chorus) And some others.. Does anyone know what these songs are I cant find them.. Do they even exist outside the film? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
