Has anyone here ever flown on BA's or AF's now retired Concordes? Or at least seen one in action?

I sit here and sigh because I will never get to fly on one. Just the thought of hurling through the air at Mach 2.04 (typical aircraft fly at about Mach 0.8) sends chills up my spine.

Never say never...want to fly fast? Save your pennies and be willing to travel...even though they aren't Concordes...they are FAST! :D

Never been on it but seen it. You could do both if you come to MANfest :)

Oh REALLY...I will have to check out your Manfest thread and see if that would be possible.
