I used to live in a neighborhood that was pretty much under the flight path in and out of Dulles (DC); every day, like clockwork, at 11ish in the morning and 4ish in the afternoon, the air would rumble and groan and a pretty needlenose would be cutting through the sky overhead. I got to see one leave a few times from Dulles, courtesy of my dad. I wanted to see the one going to the NASM annex when it came in a few years ago, but I had to work. I'll happily settle for seeing it on display when the annex opens.

More recently, on the way back from Trinidad in August, we had a stopover in Barbados. It was longer than most, because of the customs procedures et al., so I took the chance to try to doze a little in my seat. I couldn't which was good, because at one point I glanced out the window and parked on the ramp next to us was a Concorde that had not been there when we landed. I managed to get some pictures of it.
