Skyraider
Douglas Skyraider har alltid varit något av min favorit - läs gärna texten jag skrev i vintras om första gången jag såg en sådan "beast": Ghost Riders In The Sky - eller - Skyraider with a goat
Nu finns det en Skyraider i flygande skick till salu, i Frankrike (se bilden): F-AZDQ. Kolla in spezen på kärran, din för $395,000. Som hittat, eller..?
Denna Skyrainder levererades först till US Navy som BuAer No. 126956, 1960 till franska flygvapnet och 1976 överlämnad till Gabons flygvapen. Tillsammans med ett par andra Skyraiders flögs denna tillbaka till Frankrike i början av 80-talet. I dåtida flygpress beskrevs det hela, mer eller mindre, som en räddningsaktion - planen hade stått på backen i några år och deras skick var därefter. Mer historik om F-AZDQ hittas här.
Men det finns andra, ännu större, "riktiga" flygplan, som är - tro det eller ej - på väg till gamla Svedala...

Imagination Music and Lights
Imagination was a trio from the U.K. that put a synthesized and often clubby spin on soul groups from the '70s. In fact, a couple of '70s groups have direct ties to Imagination; Leee John and Ashley Ingram spent time during that decade playing supportive roles in the Delfonics and Chairmen of the Board, prior to Imagination's formation. Along with drummer Errol Kennedy, vocalist John and bassist Ingram formed the group in 1981. By the end of that year, they already had their first album released and a minor hit in the form of that album's title track, "Body Talk" . The group's second album, 1982's In the Heat of the Night, was their most successful, spawning a trio of U.S. R&B chart hits in the form of "Just an Illusion" (#27), "Magic and Lights" (#52), and "Changes" (#46).
