I thought that flight deck visits had ended with 9/11 - or perhaps that's just the ones while airborne.

I had so many visits I've lost count - they were a long time ago! - but top of the list was Concorde westbound. "What do you think of it then?" asked the captain as I was on the jump seat.

"Looks pretty much like a Trident panel to me" said I. "What do you know about those?" quoth he. " "Did my time at Hatfield building them," said I.

The man looked it over, all analogue and said - "Yes, almost identical!"

I was asked back for the approach to short final at JFK!

Those were FUN times to travel!

Nice though that people appreciate such visits to post thanks on here!
