Happy 50th Anniversary Concorde!

[JoeM]

My brother's best friend's wife was a manager at BOAC during the time of the Concorde. She managed to get free tickets on it to London for my brother, his wife, her and her husband. I think my brother said the cost was $4K a ticket at that time. My brother sat next to Arnold Palmer, the golfer, for the flight and at the end of the flight, when disembarking, each passenger was given an engraved pewter flask commemorating the date of the flight. He said he could actually see space and the outline of the earth when it was at maximum height.
