Concorde to Boston on Wed

The Concorde is coming to Boston on Wednesday, Oct 8th. Anyone know
the schedule? It's not advertised on either Massport's web page or
BA's web page.

Thanks,

I'm being entirely pedantic I know but ....

It's not called "The Concorde"

It's called simply .....................wait for
it.............................. "Concorde"

Sounds so much better

I'm lucky in that the carpark at my workplace adjoins the fence at the end
of one of the Heathrow runways.

The takeoff in the evenings when it almost dusk is simply awesome to behold.
The vantage points along the airport perimeter are pretty well populated
these days around takeoff time.

Not true in the Websterian venacular. We Yanks use the word "The" much more
than one does in Oxfordian/Queen's English. For example, I will say "Roy the
recently mauled lion-tamer is in THE hospital", while/whilst my cousin in
Cumbria will say "Roy the recently mauled lion-tamer is in hospital".

And I have flown on the Concorde, thank you very much OnePass!

Translated from my language it's called The Concorde, whether you like
it or not. Besides, I can call it whatever the hell I want, more so if
the damn thing is 3 hours late.

don't we also say "the 747", "the Tristar", "The Airbus"

Did some people actually say "Look at 747, isn't it big"

And here in the Principality of the Bay Area, we can immediately
recognize a Southlander when they say "get on *the* 680." They
probably eat their boiled eggs upside down too...;-)

airbus would hope that it's more than THE 380 (as in "singular") ;-)

I was on the 680 last night... Why don't we name them like they do in SO
Cal, like "The Hollywood Freeway" or "The San Diego Freeway".. Yeah, I
know they have names, but people don't use them.
