When i was 7 years old me and my family went to Oshkosh and thats probably what really formed my love for aviation but there was one plane there in particular that year that was the star of the show.

These are not my videos but it is what i saw...forever in awe...

Never been to Oshkosh, but as a youngster, we used to live directly under the approach path of runway 22 at Detroit Metro Airport, at about 5 miles out. I remember the big hubbub when the Concorde landed there back in the '80s. My dad found out when it was due to arrive, and we went out into our back yard and waited for it to fly overhead. It wasn't going supersonic, (of course) but it was still loud enough and had enough rumble to shake an already loose window in our garage, out. That first video took me right back!

I saw her about 10 years before these videos in San Diego. There was a huge airshow called "Air & Space America", and they had an Air France Concorde there flying people (for a fee) half way to Hawaii and back... supersonic. Seeing the Concorde in person was simply amazing!.

Another highlight I remember from this show was a demo flight of an AN-124. In 1988, this was a very big deal!

Haha, just found a video if it even!
