Why would electrical engineers fly to a conference on a Concorde? What good would an aeronautical engineer be _in flight_?

- pavel_lishin 14y agoIf I'm on a flight and they're asking for aeronautical engineers, I'll be asking for their strongest and most expensive drinks.

The man in question is my father in law, and I've heard the story from him firsthand, apparently much more recently than my wife did.) > "Why would electrical engineers fly to a conference on a Concorde?" The airline was moving a Concorde to a different facility (ie, it wasn't part of regular scheduled service). They decided to "upgrade" a bunch of passengers who were scheduled to be on a different type of aircraft. They moved the whole group of engineers together. The stewardess asked for a "Concorde engineer", who was needed for after landing. It had something to do with the way the Concorde hooks up to the loading bridge at the terminal (it may have something to do with the unusual height of Concorde?)
- Dove 14y agoAh. I guess it has been some years since I heard the story. Thanks for the correction. :)
