The Concorde Page
EHM-1001 Robert:
Flightplans were added ;)
Concorde is a special aircraft to me too. Unfortunately it was dismissed on my birthday, but I could follow the last flight LIVE on BBC. It would be good if it was entered into service again, at least for some flights.
Because Concorde was dismissed it had to be gone from the EHM active fleet, but as it is a special aircraft we kept it in the museum, for a possible veteran tour, or something like that. Funny thing is that Concorde is still flying in both British main VAs fleet.
EHM-1652 Doug:
Robert you make the point very well and I think a veteran tour possibly RTW - would be a great idea! C.E.O - sir (salutes) any chance???;D

EHM-1953 Daniel:
oh, that's kind of sad Robert... on your birthday and all.. :|
and I sort of agrees with Doug in this particular matter, C.E.O sir ;) =)
EHM-1651 Christian:
But to fly it correct is d**n har, pumping fuel right and so on.
Keeping CG within limits.
Probably the most diffucult to fly "alone" beeing both Captain, First Officer and Flight Engineer.
EHM-0695 Scott:
Well, personaly I logged over 75 hours in the Eurobusiness Concorde and was devastated to see her retired. Flying Concorde is a treat. Flying Concorde for a VA adds to the enjoyment. Many other VA's have brought Concorde back into their fleet. Perhaps EHM would consider it? ;D
No FO or Engineer? I don't know many real-world 747 captains but, the ones I do know say it is near impossible to fly 747-400 with only one pilot. Even a real-world 767 driver with whom I had the pleasure of sharing a red-eye flight was emphatic about the difficulty of flying even a 737 with only one pilot.
I've flown with the PSS Concorde and although the realism is intense, it does take away from the enjoyment of flying the aircraft. Flight Simulator is realistic in principal. Flight Simulator does a great job of simulating air rules and general procedures. No matter how advanced, not even PMDG comes close to flying the real thing.
So just jump into the captain's chair of an A380, Concorde or something from outer-space and have fun.
