About this album

Second Flight is a polished showcase of Pilot’s melodic soft rock, following the Scottish group’s breakthrough with a sharper, more assured pop sound. Released in 1975, the album builds on the band’s knack for bright harmonies, clean hooks and understated studio craft, confirming why they stood out in the mid-70s UK pop landscape. Fronted by David Paton and Billy Lyall, Pilot blended hook-driven songwriting with a smooth, radio-friendly sheen that could sit comfortably beside glam and classic pop, while still sounding distinctively their own. Second Flight captures a band refining its identity rather than repeating a formula.
