Mel & Kim – That’s The Way It Is (US 12″)
“That’s the Way It Is” is a hit single by British pop duo Mel and Kim that was featured on the soundtrack album of Coming to America, starring Eddie Murphy. The song was written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. The single peaked at #10 in the UK, becoming their fourth consecutive top 10 hits.
By the time of the single’s release, Melanie Appleby had been diagnosed with cancer and had withdrawn from the public eye in mid-1987. Appleby discharged herself from the hospital to record the vocals for the track. The sisters made Mel’s illness public at the time of the release of this single, and both appeared on the Wogan show in April 1988 while Mel was still undergoing treatment, as part of European Cancer Week.
“That’s the Way It Is” would be the last release of the duo, as they disappeared from the public eye again while Mel Appleby continued her cancer treatment. She succumbed to pneumonia in January 1990, her immune system weakened by chemotherapy. Some of the songs she co-wrote with Kim Appleby during the last 2 years of her life were later released on Kim’s solo album released in late 1990.

Ahoj Vysocina! 你好，维索西娜！
这架注册编号为OK-MEL、制造商序列号（MSN）为3094的空客A319-100飞机于2007年4月交付给捷克共和国载旗航空捷克航空公司。捷克航空是天合联盟成员。这架飞机被命名为Vysocina。
2015年，这架飞机为印度廉价航空香料航空（SpiceJet）在印度和东南亚上空飞行了三个月，随后于2015年9月22日返回捷克航空。四年后，汉莎航空租用了这架空客飞机OK-MEL近四个月。
这架空客A319-100总计服役了近14年，其中12年为捷克航空公司服务。不幸的是，捷克航空于2021年2月申请破产。2020年3月起，这架飞机便停止飞行，直到12月在科茨沃尔德机场被拆解回收。
我们很荣幸Aviationtag机队又增加了一架新的欧洲载旗航司——捷克航空。
