Murray Attaway is a singer-guitarist who was active in the 80's as part of Guadalcanal Diary, and then did a solo album in 1993, Included on that disc was the song "Under Jets", which I assume was in reference to his living near Dobbins (then AFB, now ARB ) and the Lockheed plant in Marietta, GA. I can't find a video of the studio version, but here's a solo acoustic version:

It's not every day you hear an aviation related song. The only other one I can think of is Joni Mitchell's "Amelia". There are any number of videos done of this song, this one has some nice imagery: http://youtu.be/VY8EuvWnDMw I do remember reading one somewhat clueless reviewer speaking of how Joni was unloading some emotional baggage on "her friend Amelia", clearly not getting the historical reference as to which Amelia she was referring to.
As a total aside, watching the second video just makes me realize how much working in an office day after day for the last 20 years sucks.
