Picked this up today at a garage sale. It's a photo enlargement from an original picture of the first passenger flight on the Concorde. The guy I bought it from said his uncle is at the top of the stairs exiting out of the plane. Great Piece of aviation history.

On the morning of January 21, 1976, two Concordes — one each from British Airways and Air France — took off simultaneously on what would be the aircraft's first commercial supersonic flights with fare-paying passengers.
I flew the Concorde once in 1999. It was a fantastic experience. Thanks for helping me remember.
Well I'm jealous! Not too many people could tell that story. Was it a smooth ride? Could you tell you were moving so fast? I helped my boss on his drag racing car for about 5 years. We even won a NHRA division race. I love fast machines!
