On Christmas Eve in 1985, the United Kingdom's flag carrier British Airways chose to celebrate the holiday season and the tenth anniversary of its launch of supersonic flights by operating a unique stunt. The airline flew four delta-winged Concorde jets in a unique diamond formation during the memorable flight.

Ten years before the event, the airline had launched its first commercial supersonic route between London and the American capital of Washington DC. Over that decade, the carrier's Concordes had gathered an impressive combined 71,000 flying hours.

It is hard to believe service was suspended almost 20 years ago. I was lucky to watch a Concord take off from Heathrow. The climb out was breath taking.
For years we used to hear a rumble like distant thunder on Sunday mornings just before 10 o'clock. Finally I got the idea to check the Concord schedule to New York. The amazing part was realizing we were hearing the sonic boom from an aircraft passing 30 miles off the coast of Nova Scotia, a total of 80 miles away!
