30 Years ago today .............Concorde !

Nooluv,
"I always thought that Concorde was never put in a holding pattern due to the amount of fuel it had in reserve after transatlantic crossing!
Anybody care to comment"

I live under the Ockham Hold area for Heathrow and used to watch or hear Concorde holding overhead. Not sure what they did at the New York end of thing's but as they are above the jetstream things should be the same. It used to go round up 3 times occasionaly!.

Oh to hear it again !!..
