Farewell..... old friend.
Concorde had it's final commercial flight today.
For the last 27 years, I've watched her take off and land. Every time that I have seen her, I have been impressed by her beauty. There is no other aircraft that looks so perfect in the air. There is no other aircraft that conjures up the same sense of pure awe. I've heard the sonic boom a couple of times. The French Concorde used to fly north, and break the sound barrier over the English Channel. Both times that I heard it, I was down below. It sounded like two very loud hammer blows on the hull in quick succession. Both times, I shot into the cockpit, and was surprised to see a tiny aircraft at about 35,000 ft. Regards Donal -- |
