Google Earth Heathrow 9L approach
About 14 years ago I was renting at Europcar, I think it was just off 9L, when the Concorde blasted off. OMG it was great, everything shook, you could see the pilot smiling as he hit the AB. WAHOO! "Greg Farris" wrote in message ... More Trivia; If you have to rent a car at Heathrow, make it Hertz. Their rental booth is right at the touchdown zone of one runway (not sure which) and if they are landing that way when you pick up the car you will have just about the closest view of large aircraft touching down this side of getting killed! Maybe if you pay Hertz they'll let you work there! GF |

Google Earth Heathrow 9L approach
I was an airforce brat living on a Vulcan base and when they scrambled the
whole earth shook. The Google Earth pictures of LHR are a bit old as they show Concorde too. "news.east.cox.net" wrote in message news:lDh0g.892$9c6.814@dukeread11...

That plane should be named "Waldo." How the hell did you find that?! What's the airbase in central England with the U2 on the pad? I can't seem to find it now. : -c |
