Got to love those eastbound crossings with crazy wind. I remember once took a morning flight YYZ- LHR , flight time was 5h30 including the go around. BA 747 did JFK-LHR 4h56 last year during Ciara

Concorde did JFK-LHR 2h 52m 59s with a crazy jet stream

I heard they wanted to do a 787-9 in one a few years ago. There was legit a couple models floating around as well. I held one of them! Looked absolutely fantastic. I should have a photo. I'll check around


Honestly I'd love to see them do a retro CP Air on a 737 or Canadian on A330.

Ha yes! How about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Obadia

Theyre still looking for him or gave up lol

I actually know someone that flew DC-8s for Nationair and later 757s at Canada 3000. Retired a few years ago after 20+ years flying Cargo 747s for Cathay Pacific. He trained other 747s pilots as well on -400 and -800. Boeing guy to the core. We spoke about the nationair crash and he was working those haji flights as well and knew the crew well.

All the tales about the 757 are 110% true about it's incredible performance and "handling"


On a more somber note. I asked my father in law about this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propair_Flight_420

He pretty much knew everyone on board. He was VP of business development at the time. One of the girls that died on the flight he had just hired 2-3 weeks before out of school. It was to be her first time to the facility in Peterborough. He says he was driving back from Connecticut and was going directly to Peterborough via Buffalo but got the call about what had happened directly from Welch (they were pretty good friends) and sent his jet to the nearest to airport to collect him. The irony.

His Concorde LHR tales/ chopper to old HQ. Or getting robbed in Sao Paulo and knocking the guy out with his briefcase

That must have made a noise... Listen to the ATC every bell and alarm was going off
