The first single on Phil Collins first record in 1981 and his first ever single. Urban legend has it that the lyrics were telling a story of how Phil was watching somebody drown but was too far away to do anything, however he saw somebody close enough that could have done something and didn't. Then, Phil invited the guy that wasnt drowning to one of his shows, gave him a frontrow seat, and sang the song directed to him. while the stories may vary, Phil himself claims the songs lyrics were random and the stories are all fake.
from the song "Stan" by Eminem, 1990 something:
You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air Tonight"
about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?

The items that are thrown from housing complex windows at New York City Cops when the officers walk around in a housing complex. Examples are beer bottles, coffee mugs and toaster ovens. On occassion, air mail is also tossed at members of the FDNY, EMS and DA's office.
"Me and Cruz just stepped out of our car when we almost got hit by some serious air mail. Two bottles and a filthy nasty diaper."

Non-verbal communication in which a person motions with their hand as if writing in the air. Generally means that the person needs something to write with, write on or both.
We were at a meeting, and we had to fill out some forms. Many of us used the air pen signal to try to get something to write with.
