Concordes at KCVG????

**Pappy** · 09-10-2002, 01:33 PM

Hi all. This morning, Sept. 10, sometime around 7am, I was driving home after dropping my wife off at work. A large low-flying jet went over my car that looked like a concorde. I was driving, so I couldn't really stare at it as much as I wanted to, but it did have delta wings and a pointed cockpit just like the ones I've seen pictures of. I didn't think concordes came to CVG, though.

Is there a similar looking aircraft that I might have seen and mistaken for a concorde?

This has been driving me crazy all day because I have never seen a concorde before. I have been looking all over the internet but I can find no mention of a concorde coming to CVG.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone can shed some light on this matter for me. Thanks!

Did you get a good look or just a quick glance? Could it have been a USAF B1 Bomber in wings folded config?...

Same size...same pointy nose...same noise level.

Oh. I doubt it then... Erm without looking I don't know exactly where that is (living in England), but Concordes only go to JFK (From England anyway). Is CVG anywhere nearby in case they'd have to divert?

cvg is sort of in the middle I think but anyway its only
go 10,000 feet rw's so it's unlikely to have been Concorde

Maybe it was a tu-144?

I doubt if it was a Concorde. I have seen a Concorde once, at an airshow in Toronto a few years ago, and I think it just made a side trip from New York, which is only about 300nm away from Toronto. I think that since Sept 11, a lot of airshows have been cancelled due to security problems and insurance costs.
