New York to Paris  "Concorde" bad weather (Read 718 times)

Decided to take a flight in the Concorde.   I was not expecting to take as many shots as i did but there is just to many photo ops when flying this beautiful bird.

Just after pushback.  I don't like the way the sky looks.
...
7 AM taxi to runway 31L.  I have a feeling that this is going to be an interesting flight.
...
Cleared for takeoff.
...
Climbing into the storm.  Very strong headwind
...
Finaly above the storm.  Turning for Paris.
...
Leveled off at 28000 feet for subsonic cruise.  Great sunrise
...

Leveled off at 50500 feet at mach 2.02
...
Back down to 28000 feet.  About 500 miles out.
...
Decending for final.  This looks like an interesting aproch.
...
ATC messed up and had me lining up for the runway just below.  Its not even the right airport.
...
Making final preps for landing.
...

Scroll down for the rest of the pics.

On final just before touchdown.
...
The back wheels just touched.
...
Finaly managed to slow down exiting the runway.
...
Shot from the tower as I was taxiing to the gate
...
Parked at gate F-96 after a very long an flawless flight.  Made it just in time.  The engines were shut down with only 100 kgs of fuel left.

Mike   im useing FS2002 Pro.  The strange thing is that all of the sliders are set to minimum except aircraft quality is set at medium.  some how i still get fairly good graphics.

i wish i could have better graphics than what i get but im running a 350 mghz  Aptiva IBM.  im working on upgrading it but its taking some time.

and SE thanks for the info.
