❓ Any Questions?

Do you guys know who was the woman speaking during the middle end of Just Like Starting Over and what she was saying? In one of the takes I had the slight impression that it sounded like Yoko, but I couldn't be sure...

Jon Smith (assistant engineer, Double Fantasy): In the fade, you hear a flight attendant announcing that the plane is approaching the runway. It's a woman's voice announcing, "World Airlines flight (maybe 'flight twelve') with service to..." I think it came off a sound effects record. He had originally wanted the sound of a supersonic jet landing and I remember calling all over the country, trying to find somebody who had that sound effect. We never got it, so instead we used the flight attendant.

That's awesome! I remember reading something about that before but wasn't completely sure about it. Thank you!
