Yes. Her song about Charlie in Charlie X and the love song she sings for Riley in Conscience of the King come to mind.
Well Uhura did fly the Shuttle to pick up Kirk, Spock and McCoy as well as into Paradise City at the end of the assault... It would be hard for her to fly air support in anything other than a recon mode as the Shuttles are generally accepted to be unarmed and it seemed they were worried that it could be damaged or shot down. I have said this before but really there is some great character and production design elements which make this film for me... My thoughts... Pretty much every word spoken between Kirk, Spock and McCoy Scotty's "this ship must have been put together by monkeys..." and "they dont make them like they used to" lines The Bridge, one of my all time favourites (up there with the Defiant) which influence can not only be found with the Enterprise and Excelsior in the next film but also the Equinox and Prometheus a century later along with I would argue the Enterprise E. The Captains Chair, ok so its a part of the above point but I like it enough to mention again, this chair I loved since I first saw it and would love to own this in the STV or Excelsior colours. The 'Klingon' music which was later used as the 'Worf' theme for TNG movies Making the Klingon Bridge a little less Starfleet - removing theforward consoles help to make it stand out and the periscope was a great feature to allow a true warrior to take control and put the ships weapons literally at his or her fingertips The new shuttles, these were my number 1 but have been pushed aside by the ones from Into Darkness (blasphemy I know) Shield animation/indicator - conceptually so much better than its predecessor 'blips' The Phasers not much needs saying here, really hope DST produce these with removable power packs after their upcoming STIII Phaser.
