Good explanation, I was just wondering about that yesterday. When we lived in the UK, the morning Concorde from LHR came right over us in Windsor. Obviously not supersonic, at that point, but a great sight to see. We flew it once back to London from Tennerife. The crews loved those aircraft. They would tell us that there was no one else in that altitute who wasn't in a flight suit. It was an unforgettable experience!

Hi Doug. I wouldn't know. I left Patrick at the end of 1983. My buddy Bob Hesselbein (Beaner) would have still been there and he might have.

Tim do you know who may have given incentive flights in the bronco at Patrick in 1984 ?
