One of the last Air France Concorde round-the-bays (2003).... and cockpit visits for everyone.

Less than a minute a head, but even that was enough to scan the panels, note the AFCS modes, and generally see the same bits and bobs I had helped develop and test thirty years earlier still doing the job they were designed for.

I was lucky to be among the first, so we were still on the return part of the flight... the rear cabin had to wait until after landing.

I'm glad to this day, that their rules allowed it...

Merci les gars pour une minute inoubliable !
