Default S'more Concordes - Concorde_PNW_index.jpg

Concorde didn't get to the Pacific Northwest very often - icing tests
at Moses Lake, WA; special charters and a visit to the Expo 86
Abbotsford Air Show - but think I managed to catch every visit.

But we have one on permanent display here in Seattle at The Museum of
Flight.

Hey Bob! Thanks for those images! They are great! I was at Abbotsford for
Expo 86 as well. I managed to get some snaps as well but they are on slides.
I had the slides scanned but the scans are not to my liking. Did you get a
major league sunburn like I did? I was lobster red for a week! OUCH! Still,
it was worth it to see Concorde flying around. Sadly, that was the only time
I saw the aircraft in flight. I've seen a few of them on the ground at
Heathrow (1978). That was it. : (

I hope to get out to Seattle one day and visit the Museum Of Flight and pay
a visit to the Concorde on display there.

Take care,

Nick
