I don't believe you need anything but a vivid imagination to fly the friendly skies called music!
That's what the astral plane is to me.

True, you can't fly a Mellotron... a little ungainly for that, but thay CAN take you for a pretty good ride tho' yes?  Ask Pinder!
 
"He'll take you up, he'll bring you down,
He'll plant your feet back on the ground.
He'll fly so high, he'll swoop so low.
He'll fly his astral plane.
He'll take you trips around the bay.
He'll bring you back the same day."
 
Okay, they're talking about Timothy Leary, but they sure used a Mellotron to DO it!  Can't ignore that last note, brass(?), turning the whole way down in pitch and sounding very airplane-flyby-like!  Weeeeee!
