Als èchte Boeing 707 freak
en enorme muziekliefhebber
moet ik jullie toch eventjes onderstaande tekst laten lezen van de door mij ernstig aanbevolen site over met name de Qantas zevennullen genaamd:
"VH-JET#1 AND HER SISTERS" met als link:
http://www.707.adastron.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Hier dus een mooi stukje over dé 707 en de muziek over "haar" geschreven op deze site:
The average man or woman who has no interest in aviation beyond having committed it unwillingly as a fare-paying passenger, would probably say: "See one aeroplane seen 'em all". However, there are some airliners which stand out from the crowd to such an extent that even non-enthusiasts would recognise them. In the fifties there was the Lockheed Super Constellation, a triple-tailed beauty whose art deco lines set her apart from the other piston powered airliners and made her the subject of choice for any artist needing to depict an airliner of the fifties. In the sixties it was the Boeing 707.
Whereas the Connie had inspired graphic artists, the 707 inspired a generation of song-writers.
Out on runway number nine, big seven oh seven set to roll. ("Early Morning Rain" written by Gordon Lightfoot and recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary)

But my heart keeps calling me backwards as I get on the seven oh seven. ("Jet Airliner" written by Paul Pena and recorded by The Steve Miller Band)

It's the only way to fly, Boeing Boeing seven oh seven ("Boeing Boeing 707" written and recorded by Roger Miller)
Seven oh seven mockingbirds they flying in the sky ("People Call Me Country" written and recorded by Digby Richards)
In the absence of any songs about the DC-8, the Comet, the Tu-104 or the Caravelle, it must be concluded that the 707 was indeed something special!
Inmiddels heb ik een redelijke muziekverzameling (inclusief bovenstaande tracks...)
De luchtvaart-gerelateerde tracks zal ik hier binnenkort eens op een rijtje gaan zetten...
Wat mij trouwens ook leuk lijkt is een topic te beginnen met afbeeldingen van covers/hoesjes van LP's/CD's/MC's (Muziek Cassette
) etc... met daarop vliegtuigen/heli's whatever? Maar da's misschien meer iets voor 't PhotoForum...
Dus binnenkort meer uit dit Theater
