As an RAF cadet back in 1978 I watched Concorde coming in for a landing at
RAF Filton and it flew over only a hundred feet above me. I still think it's
the most beautiful plane I've ever seen.

A peace-keeping device, in the modern rhetoric.

Yeah, I don't see a 747 do a stand.... On the other hand, seeing one of
those beasts come in for a landing at the start of the runway is also quite
a sight.
