Ive seen Concorde flying high in the sky in those days, then just as it had passed, you heard the thunder of its majestic engines after, since it was travelling faster than the speed of sound, you hear me ?!? Nice Concorde story excerpt from BBC.. He is modest about it, but Jock is part of an elite club. There are more US astronauts than there are Concorde pilots. Jock then recalled the time he was chatting to some pilots of the super-secret American spy plane, the SR71 Blackbird. Now, the whole point of that amazing aircraft was that it flew way beyond the reach of other planes. Faster and higher, hidden away. But one day, these guys said that their air traffic controller told them to get out of the way because there was a Concorde coming through. They couldnt believe it. Peering out of one window, two American military pilots wearing spacesuits. Peering out of the other, perhaps Joan Collins guzzling champagne - Im guessing she was on the plane as she often was. I wonder if they waved? Technically, Concorde was revolutionary. bbc.co.uk/news/business-24629451
