marith Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 It was such a shame when they retired one of the best aircraft of all time - Concorde. I never got around to fly on her, despite planning to, and now I miss seeing and hearing her fly over London. So, it was really nice to see that Orbx have modelled Concorde at Filton (EGTG), near Bristol in their wonderful England scenery. Here a couple of screenshots: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Banks Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 The two things that always made the sandwiches stop half-way to the mouth at air displays were 1) Concorde and 2) The Su-27 Flanker. I once saw the Concorde give almost an aerobatic performance at RIAT (Fairford) ... I'll never forget it. "Are airliners meant to do that???".
