One little known Concorde fact: In 1984, IIRC, Concorde landed at SAC in Omaha.

Nicky Rhodes of Duran Duran married the daughter of the founder of Younkers Dept St (Nordstroms of the Midwest). Concorde flew into Omaha, picked up the entire wedding party and guests and flew to England for the wedding. When they flew back to Omaha, they allowed the locals to go out and look at the plane, inside and out. Big news in the Midwest 20+ years ago.
