Oooohhhh...pretty good. Pretty good.
yes, we were very lucky to have experienced such a trip. it was to attend my sister-in-law’s wedding. we had a very strange experience in the Concorde lounge at Heathrow, when i went up to the desk to ask for a newspaper before our flight home, there were some middle eastern types dressed in their robes who were requesting that they be allowed to get off the flight. i didn’t hear why, but was very concerned that their luggage would still be onboard the flight we were taking, and that my trip of a lifetime gift to my family would end in our deaths because of the bomb i was worried had been concealed in their luggage. fortunately that turned out not to have happened.
the other unusual experience was that as we approached mach 2, the walls of the plane above our overhead luggage compartments started to expand, probably because of the extreme heat being generated as we flew.
It’s interesting that even as far back as the 90’s you/we were worried about bombs in luggage but they still pulled off 911. The PC idiocy of not profiling cost thousands of lives.
