Scenery fix for the Concorde at Heathrow

This is my first post here, thought I'd make it a good one. (I hope it's in the write place).

Anyways, does anyone know of a scenery fix, or perhaps even a Project AI that doesn't go anywhere for the Concorde in Heathrow?? I fly thru Heathrow fairly frequently (IRL) and it breaks my heart to see that beautiful plane sitting on the tarmac.   :(

But for the sake of realism, I think that'd be an easy add-on.

Thanks for the reply.  Do you happen to have a general idea where it sits in Heathrow??  Along which taxiway?  Sorry, I'm somewhat new at this, but I understand what you're saying.

no idea where it's parked... probably somewhere out of major traffic movements

Craig and Ivan,

Thanks to your help, I was able to get Concorde parked in it's proper place in Heathrow.  I've been testing to make sure it works, and so far it stays in the correct place.  

What I ended up doing is creating a parking place with AFCAD then designating that parking space with a ficticious airline code that I also assigned to an AI Concorde.  The parking space doesn't have any taxiways so I don't think it can leave if it wanted to.  It has one flight assigned that comes right back to Heathrow.  

The only slight problem I have is that the ARNZ Concorde also has the catering trucks as a feature.  Is there any way to eliminate these??

I also have Concorde (another one) with it's regular flight plan leaving out of both Heathrow and Charles DeGaulle.  That's just because I miss seeing Concorde fly.  I don't mind the catering trucks and such servicing those aircraft.

Any ideas with my parked Concorde?  

Thanks again.
