My cold is gone. That’s a relief. As I was leaving the office today, I was reminded of one of the unique things that I get to experience as I’m over here: I get to see the Concorde supersonic jet fly overhead nearly everyday. This is something that you could only experience living in Paris, London, or NYC. Reading is about a 25 min car ride from Heathrow airport and is in the jet’s flight.
I always know to look for it because I always hear it long before I see it. You can hear the plane roaring above and it really is a lot louder than any other plane. I’m sure it isn’t traveling at anywhere near its supersonic speed, as it’s probably illegal to do so over any residential area. It’s such an odd shapre for a plane after being used to seeing 747’s and the like. Seeing the plane overhead is a thrilling experience, even if you can see it everyday. Of course that will all change in October. Wanna buy a ticket for one of the last flights?
