A DeHavilland Otter of Kenmore Air's fleet appears to make an approach to the moon as it descends for a landing on Lake Union.
The jazz standard "Fly Me to the Moon" was written by Bart Howard in 1954 and originally titled "In Other Words" and first released as the flipside of an album. In 1963 Howard changed the name to what we now know it. By the time Frank Sinatra's version, produced by Quincy Jones, was released in 1954 a hundred other versions had been released. The song became closely associated with the Apollo missions and was the first music heard by an astronaut on the moon when Buzz Aldrin listened to it on Apollo 11 on a portable tape player.
