That's a very 'Concorde' picture, Bellerophon.

Gentle descent in the crz, N1 max, N2 max, similar fuel burn per engine as a 747 (but over double the speed), Airspeed and Mach numbers just shy of the barber's poles, must have been well above FL500 given the Mach number yet the cabin alt is a smidge over 5000'.

Elapsed time 1hr 31, Longitude over 41W. Took me over three hours to get to 40W yesterday.......

PS and it has to be OAD, because for some reason the nose/visor control panel is black. I've no idea why I can remember stuff like that, but not the name of someone I met last week......
