Pena wrote and recorded the song in 1973 for his "New Train" album; however, due to conflicts between Pena and his label, "New Train" sat unreleased until 2000. Miller, having heard a bootleg recording of the album, decided to record "Jet Airliner" for his band's "Book of Dreams" album in 1977. It was concurrently released as a single, and reached #8 on the "Billboard" chart. One line was altered for radio play. Instead of "Cause I don't want to get caught up in any of that funky shit goin' down in the city.", it was changed to "funky kicks goin' down in the city".
