AMC has been running the 'Airport' series lately.
Airport '79 was at the very least a chance to see the Concorde in house
markings. It was a laugh to see it do barrel rolls and loops...


In reality Concorde had done a barrel roll in tests as was mentioned in an
old tv series called Reaching For The Skies. Shame it wasn't filmed but I
think that a 747 in tests which also did a barrel roll was filmed.



Interesting note: The Concorde (F-BTSC) used in the film was the same
aircraft that crashed.
