what classic rock song(s)of the 70s has a flute intro or a flute playing in the song. (something by Jethro Tull?)

California Dreamin' by the Mamas and the Papas comes to mind.
and that song by Canned Heat Going up the Country.

Maybe not rock, but "Lotta Love" by Nicolette Larson is a great flute-y song.

Well, it was written by Neil Young, so I guess it does count, after all.

Pretty much the entire Jethro Tull catalog actually. "Living In The Past", "Life's A Long Song". "Bungle In The Jungle". "Thick As A Brick", etc.
The flute was their calling card.
Now excuse me as I head off to the Rennaisance Festival.....

Ron Burgandy played a mean jazz flute:

Some Moody Blues tracks had excellent flute playing but my favorite use of flute in a rock song is Firefall's "Strange Way". That's just one cool song. [8D]

motors, that Firefall song is a great tune. I think their song "You are the Woman" also features some flutage.

I am pretty sure "Can't You See" by the Marshal Tucker Band has some nice flute playing at the end of the song.

Last summer...when I was at Band Camp...

Oh, you're asking about songs that actually got recorded!
