Thats like a scoob with a load of novas pushing it for a race
Just imagine sitting their piloting that with the Red Arrows along side and then push the throttle fully open and say "bye bye"
I never experienced going on it
but my dad did on a business trip when I was a kid and he brought me back a presentation pack with a model of concorde, a signed pic of it by the captain and a leather document folder all with Concorde stationary. Was well chuffed
Aviation has taken a massive step backwards

I went on it "charter"to Le Mans 24 hours in 1985. After flying at Mach 2 and seeing the cockpit,curviture of earth etc, they returned west, subsonic to Le Mans, did a fly by along Mulsanne Straight and then having strapped us in and pre-warned us all, the Captain stood it on it's tail and put on the afterburners. Then landed at Tours, had centre stand tickets, hotel etc and then Concorde home to Heathrow again after a vertical climb out of Tours in front of Mayor and half the town!! Booked through Goodwood Travel.. And the cost: just over £500. Unbelievable value for money and experience.
