Queen's Golden Jubilee Concorde Finale Fly-by

[Guest AndrewW]

Wasn't it! I watched it on the TV, and listened into Heathrow Director on the scanner (120.400). It pulled up and then reported the field in sight to ATC, and was cleared to land on 27L. Callsign was 'Concorde', nice and simple ;) !

Hi Peter,I like your comments (as always) - I'm glad you took my post the way I expected, nice to see it generated some humorous replies - we all need that once in a while -BTW, I didn't mean to offend the Brits, chill out.God shave the Queen !Twister

You sure know how to stir people up....At least you're an equal opportunity antagonist!gwillmot

Mark,That is WAY cool! I couldn't fly in formation in FS. I'd be the guy either 300' up or down or behind or turning into the Concorde and bringing everyone down! :-lol

[Guest Scott Campbell]

Andrew,Thanks for reminding me I posted this topic because it's flying-related and not political in any way.Geez, I post something about some cool formation, and it turns into yet another meaningless argument of my sim (or country in this case) against yours. Wow. It never even occurred to me that's where this would go.Please, oh please, stick to the cool pics and forget the nationalization and politics. There are other forums for that.Now if only someone could post a video of the pull-up, which I never saw. A Diamond-9 with the Concorde is soooooooo pretty.

Twister,I want to add one further comment to my earlier posting. Firstly, I tried to identify your nationality but you have hidden your profile so I'm unable to. Why do you hide behind a cloak of anonymity?Think back to the 11th September and those awful images we all witnessed. Two days later the Queen ordered that the Stars and Stripes be played during the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace as a mark of respect for the American people and as a show of support for our cousins across the pond.Whatever your nationality it's a pity you couldn't remember those actions before you posted such an insensitive message. Next time try engaging brain before hitting the Post button.

Hi gwillmot,Long time, eh.. ;-)I don't stir them up, I let them dig their own hole. They start with their own shovel, and do nothing but dig. I'm like the city hole inspector. I let them dig just deep enough to let the hole cave in on themselves.It happens virtually every time. :-)They simply don't realize it until I or someone else points it out. No freebies here from me.At least I apologize when I am wrong about something. Today, I learned that the Union Flag is only referred as the Union Jack when it is flying on one of her majesty's ships.Regards,Joe :-wave.Oshkosh Pictures From 2001 (Part 1) 78 Pics in Frames with 1mb in ThumbnailsHigh speed connection Recommended:http://home.attbi.com/~flypics1/FrameSet.htm.Oshkosh Pictures From 2001 (Part 2) 106 Pics in Frames with 1.5mb in ThumbnailsHigh speed connection recommended:http://home.attbi.com/~flypics2/FrameSet.htm.Picture Gallery of My Flight in a 1945 SNJ-6 on June 1st, 2002Joliet, Illinoishttp://home.attbi.com/~jranos/FrameSet.htm.http://home.attbi.com/~jranos/mysig.jpg http://avsim.com/hangar/air/bfu/logo70.gif

Yep....but sometimes it's better to offer them a ladder instead of letting them burying themselves alive.....Keep on flying!gwillmot

[Sonar5 3]

Well, usually I am not the first to respond. In some cases, it only takes one post and they understand. But if they keep going, fine. Because I know before I post what I am going to say, and for the most part, how I am going to say it. You see, I think about what I am going to write and I try to preview it before I hit the Post button.I don't feel compelled to offer any ladders.I will offer understanding, though and I have on more than quite a few occasions.Regards,Joe :-wave.Oshkosh Pictures From 2001 (Part 1) 78 Pics in Frames with 1mb in ThumbnailsHigh speed connection Recommended:http://home.attbi.com/~flypics1/FrameSet.htm.Oshkosh Pictures From 2001 (Part 2) 106 Pics in Frames with 1.5mb in ThumbnailsHigh speed connection recommended:http://home.attbi.com/~flypics2/FrameSet.htm.Picture Gallery of My Flight in a 1945 SNJ-6 on June 1st, 2002Joliet, Illinoishttp://home.attbi.com/~jranos/FrameSet.htm.http://home.attbi.com/~jranos/mysig.jpg http://avsim.com/hangar/air/bfu/logo70.gif

What in the heck was the original post about anyway? Oh yea, the Concorde. Someone could post a picture of a field of daisy's and it would degenerate into some sort of flame war about what country has the most daisy's or how MS did not get the shade of the yellow right on the daisy's or someone would start screaming for a daisy patch because they get stuttering when the wind blows the daisy's!Ah well.
