Heath Row to JFK via the FlightsimLabs Concorde. What a beauty of an airplane!! I've been flying it for 3 days now and I love it. Getting it up to Mach 2 and 5x,000 feet isn't too bad; getting it down is the challenge.

Some pics!!!

All engines spinning, visor down, nose at 5 degrees... ready to taxi!

Lighting the reheats at the acceleration point, just off the coast at 26,000 feet.

Passing over a Delta 763 at 40,000 feet and climbing, Mach 1.3 here.

Very nice shots of this great airplane Ryan:cool:
Is it possible to keep this monster in the air within three days? I would crash it;)

Ahh the old time machine! A flight on that baby always granted you an extra hour of life back to you!
