Flying music

[Jim Logajan]

Wikipedia says this about the song "I Started a Joke" by the Bee Gees:

According to Robin Gibb, the melancholic melody of the song was inspired by the sounds on board an aeroplane:

The melody to this one was heard aboard a British Airways Vickers Viscount about a hundred miles from Essen. It was one of those old four engine "prop" jobs, that seemed to drone the passenger into a sort of hypnotic trance, only with this it was different. The droning, after a while, appeared to take the form of a tune, which mysteriously sounded like a church choir. So it was decided! We accosted the pilot, forced him to land in the nearest village and there, in a small pub, we finished the lyrics [with Barry]. Actually, it wasn't a village, it was the city, and it wasn't a pub, it was a hotel, and we didn't force the pilot to land in a field ... but why ruin a perfectly good story?​

This video seemed appropriate.

Love it! Nemoy’s Spock is one of my all time favorite characters. Always liked the song too.

Here’s an aviation related Bee Gees video:

What model Cessna is that with the dual rear doors? Loved startup prior to everyone in the plane.

Looks to be a Cessna 206.

The airport is Bankstown in Sydney, Australia.

I ain't no William Shatner ...

Consider yourself fortunate! You can really sing and compose.

That’s beautifu!

Hmmmmm…. Could have sworn I had the “l” after the “u” and before the exclamation mark. I’ve noticed this happens all the time. When I make the final punctuation it replaces the last letter rather than coming after it. I am going to post this in the technical section.
