Back in either '86 or '87, the Concorde flew into Wittman Regional Airport, in Oshkosh, WI., during an E.A.A. Convention. For about $250.00, you were able to get a ride from Oshkosh, up to the Canadian Border north of the Upper Penisla (UP) of Michigan, then back to Oshkosh in approx. 15 -20 minutes flying time...
All I was able to muster up was a few pics of the Concorde flying a low-level pass over our house while it was lining up for the landing back at the airport.
BTW, due to air-space restrictions, the Concorde was prohibitted from going super-sonic...that meant it had to fly nose-down the whole time while it was State-side...I wonder what it would have been like to ride that thing super-sonic...
