Flew Concorde three times. First was on the short-lived Braniff service between IAD and DFW which was a subsonic dinner flight. Can't recall if it was a BA or AF bird.

Then after it re-entered service did JFK-LHR and back. I recall both flights were on BA and the aircraft was BOAG. On the flight over I had Sir Peter Hall sitting behind me and on the one back Michael Jackson two rows back and Barbara Walters two rows to the front of me. Jackson has two burly Mafiosa looking body guards along for the ride. (Not a full load on either flight so I had both seats to myself.)

On the farewell tour BA did, they flew BOAG into YYZ and I got an invite to the reception so I could say au revior to her. Then after the STARMegaDoII in Seattle this fall I visited her once more at Boeing Field.
