I must try and find a way of posting the video clip. It looks absolutely mental.

For some reason I believe this is the aircraft that Tex Johnson rolled. I could be wrong though.

Is this the same one that was barrell rolled over Lake Washington on a demo flight ? If so I have footage of it from Discovery Channel somewhere.

One of the AF Concordes has been donated to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum in Washington DC. It’s been delivered and is sitting on the ramp waiting to be moved inside.

Because of the placement of the Concorde and Boeing Stratoliner I couldn’t get a clear shot of the 707. It was pretty neat to see all 3 aircraft waiting on the ramp for their final move into the new Air & Space Museum building.
