Flight 180—initially known as 180 or One Eighty—was a Christian ska ensemble originating from Orange County, California. Their sound was a fusion of punk rock and swing elements. Led by vocalist and songwriter Kim Tennberg, the group was active between 1998 and 2001, during which time they released three albums through BEC Recordings: Crackerjack (1998), Lineup (1999), and Girls and Boys (2001).
