Music in combination with aviation

[LH-B744]

Once this topic has been opened by me, but now that I try to only open it, the server almost collapses? Too much good music?

But how can we have too much of it. So, I have another one.

Btw, one or two people in the internet may have noticed that I somehow have a little bit modernized the computer which I fly. Only a little bit.
Never change a winning combination (e.g. LH and B747).
So, what was it before. Asus motherboard with Intel chipset and premium sound with 5 plugs + 1 s/pdif.
And what is it now. Asus motherboard witth Intel chipset and premium sound with 5 plugs + 1 s/pdif.
So. Nothing's changed? Not quite. The new one is a Republic of Gamers (RoG) Strix Z590-E, with a December 2022 Bios (!), which obviously is the newest thing now here in my room. Not the cpu,
and not even the o/s (Win10 Pro 64b 22H2) is newer.
And this mobo comes with a sound solution which, when I'm ready with it, is a dream for less than 200,- . Today, this mobo doesn't still like the Behringer 802, where I since more than 10 years plug in my phones to listen to my computer, without one problem (with the old mobo). And the new mobo still makes idiotic noises when I turn up the volume. But I guess I've found something like a kill switch for these noises and until the end of the year (or even earlier), my computer sound should be as good as last year (or probably even better).

The new sound definitely sounds better than the old sound, if there weren't these noises... Stay tuned for news about that.

Back on topic.

Where was my parking position here when I left this topic a few weeks ago. Did I mention Ben E. King - Spanish Harlem (1961) ?
In 1947 he moved to Harlem New York, and he obviously was quite impressed, and this is his song after he arrived in New York. This is early color TV, and I'm pretty sure that in Germany, color TV was switched on not before 1963.
And in the USA? Nevertheless, enjoy the vinyl.

From Harlem (New York) to Durban (South Africa).

This man tried something very very crazy, and I don't know if this is allowed here on this platform. A very long time ago (cp to my year of birth ... ), he tried to sing (and he still sings)
in German.

I've not found a South African (Star Alliance) nonstop flight to Durban, but this is what I've found today:
LH #572 to Johannesburg, a/c type B748 .

... my dear god, in this year it must feel like a visit from outer space when you see a Boeing 747 passage version (with passenger seats on the main deck) on your airport.
Only Washington and the Lufthansa own and fly these space ships (?!). But be sure, we are human, and we come on a friendly mission (enlarge the 747 photo album).

And this is the man with the music for your 747 destination South Africa, if you like. I'm not able to translate it, everytime when I hear it it is Fernweh pur.
From my fathers (!) shelf of vinyls.

Hm. I still don't know how many people read me here at jetphotos. A statistic says, right at this moment, we only have 377 active members.

318 persons are online here right now. And up to 8100 persons read this forum at once. Without that I know their names. That's definitely less than Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) would expect.

But that's definitely more than I expected when I became a Jetphotos member. Up to 8100 persons read what I write, at once. That's ok, let me compare that to my home airport,
8100 persons per hour... whoo eeeeya. That's slightly a different dimension than on my home airport! 8100 x 24 ... x 365 ... = 70,956,000 persons per year.

Here at Lohausen International we have a capacity of not much more than 24,000,000 persons per year. So what has happened. Together with my avatar, I've grown a little bit too big for my home airport (?). So, let's fly South of EDDL, to Rhein/Main (ICAO: EDDF).

And what's my range, in music. Well, a little less than with my avatar, not 7000 nautical miles, not everything between Oberpfaffenhofen (definitely not) and San Francisco:

PS: To be honest, only two of the above mentioned lead singers are still alive, and only one is nearly my age. But all men have achieved quite alot, who have become older
than Mr Taylor Hawkins. I still can't quite believe that, he was found dead only two weeks after his birthday. So, that's my next step, to become older than Mr Hawkins senior.
R.I.P., man.

[LH-B744]

..Ahm. I have just perceived that I have already reached two aims, Elvis Presley (died at the age of 42) and Freddie Mercury (died at the age of 45 plus two weeks).
Here on my side it is .. 45.5 almost exactly, ha.

I don't know if that's a reason to celebrate, but probably it is good that at least Mr Presley and Mr Hawkins senior have children. Who else would celebrate the 77th birthday of Freddie Mercury
this year (*September 5th 1946)?

PS: I MUST quote one comment for Freddies 'Hammer to Fall'. This comment says 'who else would celebrate the 77th birthday of Freddie Mercury'
in other words:
"It's been almost 40 years since this came out, and as a 2006-born, this song still rocks."
Thus, I assume that this young man is 17 years old. So, I don't know yet (I have an assumption) how we both like a 1984 classic rock song.

Hm. I like to continue this series 'music legends on TV' . The man has sung alot of really really sad songs and whenever they are played on the radio, I thought by myself,
why always the saddest of his songs. I am young enough to not only know the very first song which he became famous for in 1971.
After that, he was #1 on the US Top 100 billboard charts in 1972, not with his saddest song, but with 'Lean on Me'.

And in 1982, he earned a Grammy for one of his best songs, if you ask me, a #2 on the US Top 100 billboard charts in 1981.

Bill Withers (1938-2020) died in Los Angeles, California at the age of 81 due to a heart failure. But his songs will live on, here his Top 100 #2 from 1981.

And now, for our breakfast, and so that all people again think.. 'this guy only knows schmusesongs' (and I can live with that, because I know it better),

back to my roots, back to my year. The haircut for men has changed - a little bit - since then, my dear friend.. And for the original comments, this time I'd again obviously need
a Spanish translator. With more than 68.000.000 requests since it was uploaded, a group of female singers, with a 45 year old song.

[Deleted by the author.]

As I've always done it since more than 15 years, I delete people and names from my forum entries who have not expressively said
'yes', I like to be mentioned in the jetphotos forum. Upon request.

Since the last weekend also without request.

Once here in our beloved jetphotos forum, I was asked, how far offtopic can you go. And I responded, probably a bit too spontaneous, as far offtopic as you let me go.

Since the beginning of August 2024, I operate this topic with stricter rules. Names can be deleted from this topic if I wasn't able to achieve prior consent,

and that may happen upon request and also without that a request directly reaches me (but another jetphotos member).

But, as that is one of my topics, started by me, and thus, open for all jetphotos members since the beginning, today I miss two names. And I like to add these two names even

if they are deleted again tomorrow. In Düsseldorf there is a politician (name not mentioned) who obviously only has the size of knifes in his head. What he doesn't see is, big knifes are also owned

by big white men. [Volksverhetzung durch Politiker nicht ausgeschlossen].

So. Today I like to mention two names who together with me work against too much propaganda.

Mr Bruce Springsteen and

Mr Wolfgang Niedecken. As I know both of them, and I like both of them since .. at least 1990 (or longer), for me it should not be a problem to get the permission to publish their names

when the topic is Aufstehen gegen rechte Hetze -

und für Völkerverständigung . Not only between EDDL and EDDK...

Very dear greetings.

I like to close this entry with Wolfgang Niedecken (and his BAP) - Alles em Lot (1990) .
