Hey folks, I too have a wonderful love of the beautiful lady "Concorde"

I jsut fly the little ole 73 for Southwest. A former Braniff Captain, working as an instructor now(age 60 hit him); named Jerry white...has told me many fascinating stories of flying Concorde.

I could sit and listen to him all day long.

Not too long ago, fslabs released a version of Concorde for Microsoft flight sim FSX.

Don't know if any of you "Concorde" folks as well as others have seen it.
If not, take a look at Flight Sim Labs, Ltd.

From what I understand, this is as close to flying a real Concorde as you can get. Marvelous bit of programming. I know a lot of the systems, flight model etc..were verified by former Concorde crews for accuracy.

Check it out when you have the time.

Now back to reading....

I've got training at the end of Sept....I'll be sure and tell Jerry you said hello.

Hi folks. Christian,M2 etal.

On numerous cockpit photos I have seen,; sometimes the cockpit panels seem to have a bluish tint to them. Other times they look like the standard gray, I see in the 737NG I fly.

Can you shed a little light on the actual color of the cockpit panels.

I realize that different panels installed maybe slightly different colored, but overall, what was the general color of the panels.

Thank You, for ALL your Wonderful insight and Stories of the Beautiful Aircraft; I missed out on.

Hi, Christaan. Thank You for the info. No, we don't have to go to that extreme.

I was doing some research for a little project, ran into a dead end.

I have seen the take off data card used by flight crews.

But, I can't seem to locate any images of the landing data card utilized.

So, wanted to ask. Did you have an official landing data card, similiar to the take off data card.

If so, do you perhaps have an image/scan of one? I've looked all over the internet, I can't locate anything.

If it was just written on a notepad then that explains everything.

I have an image of the Landing card used by Air France, just need to try and locate the one used by British Airways if there is/was a card/form. Any insight or help appreciated.

Any Concorde crews follow this thread anymore?

Been awhile since any replies. If you have any ideas on above question, would really appreciate the help.
