Default Three Concordes

Did anyone see the Three Concordes landing at Heathrow this morning?

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe...nal/index.html

From the story:

The last of the three gleaming white British Airways jets to land at
Heathrow took off from New York's John F. Kennedy airport on Friday while
the two others left Edinburgh and London.

Tens of thousands of enthusiasts had lined the roads around Heathrow to see
the aircraft arrive in close succession just after 4 p.m. (1500 GMT).

The trio of Concordes made a special choreographed landing at the airport,
signaling the end of commercial supersonic flights.


We don't have cable TV for CNN etc. Local TV had zip.
