Well, I made a successful jaunt across the Atlantic with my shiney new Concorde. I created a new company to test this out in case I really
screwed things up
I still don't see the afterburner light up on takeoff, so maybe it's a PSS problem or me...hahaha! At any rate,
I'd say I did a decent job of managing this thing even after one test takeoff and zero landings. I do need to work on the fuel management
of this bird, however. I landed with a little more than required reserves for IFR flight, but it's too close for my comfort. Here's my flight report:
