If you slung a couple of Torpedo's between the engine nacelles and charged at em real quick in the low level pose, I'm sure they would have had them to ya super quick

Nice shot. Hard to realize the Concorde is nostalgia. First one I saw was in the Air France livery, landing at PANC. From the tower cab it looked tiny but, as with other bullets, smaller is usually faster.

That is one thing that really showed, we had three open days at the airport when Conkers was in town , co-insider ed with the then USN "Operation Deep Freeze" open day, the aircraft from a distance was small only due to, we had been programmed to fat planes and not skinny, I guess you don't get until really checking out the nose gear, it really was something .

Size matters? the Concorde is an optical illusion just like the other super bullet the SR-71, the Concorde is almost twice as long as the Habu.

It was amazing with sound off the Concorde, in a engineering workshop with a row off 10 machines running five miles away from the airport I still heard the roar when leaving Christchurch .. now that impressive

Great! Always feels a bit wrong to fly something that loud over a residential area...but it's fun!

Smooth as silk on the incoming .. just the launch and only last for a couple, little whiles, you get some boom box boy racers cause more rarcus than one Conkers who's gone in minutes.
