MY BRITISH AIRWAYS CONCORDE FLIGHT- MARCH 2, 1999

ON MARCH 2 1999, I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO FLY ABOARD THE CONCORDE FOR ITS 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS FIRST FLIGHT. SADLY, 16 MONTHS AFTER THIS FLIGHT, THE AIR FRANCE CONCORDE CRASHED INTO THE FRENCH COUNTRYSIDE AND IT MARKED THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR THE BEAUTIFUL SPEEDBIRD OF THE SKIES. I AM VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE THIS FLIGHT...IF IT WERENT FOR MY BRIDE, JILL...SHE WAS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF ME FOR THIS. SHE KNEW IT WAS ALWAYS MY DREAM TO FLY ABOARD THIS PLANE...AND NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD FOR BOTH OF US...SHE VERY UNSELFISHLY SUPPORTED MY FLYING TO ENGLAND ALONE, TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN...AND LIKE SO MANY THINGS IN OUR 24 YEARS TOGETHER...I THANK HER AND LOVE HER FOR HELPING MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
