Last night I had a series of strange dreams. In the first one I was in a dystopian version of Spain in the near future and the Covid police came to my house and attempted to force the vaccine on me. Fortunately, I was able to fight off the two government goons who tried to forcibly vaccinate me and then escaped. In the second dream I was a passenger in a new experimental aircraft which looked like some evil bird and took off with vertical ascent. The noise of the engine was off the charts. The speed of the aircraft was otherworldly and very quickly we were up in the heavens at 60,000 feet.
When I woke up, I thought of Concorde and decided to check out some videos.
Here is a documentary:
Concorde taking off
Isn't she an absolute masterpiece?
Concorde flight routes
Concorde was capable of flying at two and half times the speed of sound and at 55,000 feet and could go from London to NYC in just over three hours. How awesome is that! Unfortunately, Concorde was retired in 2003.
Did any of you long-term HA'ers ever fly on Concorde? If so, what was it like? Did the physical sensation feel much different to a regular commercial airliner?
