The slender, needle-nosed airplane that British Airways designated Alpha Delta has been opened to public tours at the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum, on the Hudson River on Manhattans West Side. Even among Concordes, Alpha Delta is special, holding a trans-Atlantic commercial speed record for a flight between London Heathrow and John F. Kennedy International Airport: 2 hours, 53 minutes and 59 seconds. People who could never afford British Airways $6,000 London-New York fare on the Concorde may now see some of what the high rollers enjoyed at 60,000 feet." http://www.HammondCast.com/
Note from Jon Hammond: It was a real pleasure to meet Captain Mike Bannister, British Airways' Chief Pilot of the Concorde Fleet when he dedicated Concorde Alpha Delta
G-BOAC to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum on January 26th 2004 - film forth coming folks, Jon Hammond *Note: I flew the Air France Concorde from JFK to CDG in 1981, 3 hours and 26 minutes NYC to Paris - that was the game changer for me.
