Thought I'd have a special flight to celebrate the opening of the new Terminal 5 with Heathrow 2008.

The new T5 is now open for business, shame this classic will never use it,

Climbing out over London,

Time for our special low flyby,

The new T5 (if you hadn't guessed!)

Lucky spotter got this shot on final,

Speedbird 01 is home,

Nice shots. What is going on with the two aircraft nose to nose in shot #5? Did ATC mess up again. ::)

Funny, I posted the full set on another forum and someone said exactly the same thing! No, they are actualy at official parking spots.

I post seven pics and get one reply, disapointing that.

Man that is wicked! I love the Concorde and especially because hardly anyone has posted pictures of it :(

I still love these shots and the scenery you got for ti is amazing! I especially love the T5 in the round-a-bout ;D

Nice shots and you really need some more AI for that airport...Static airliners don't do the trick... ;)

That's better, I was getting lonely!  ;)

No static AI here Asher, all 'proper' AI. MORE though? I don't think my system could cope with it!

Sure, http://www.sstsim.com

It's been around for a while now but you won't get a better exterior model in FS. Some prefer the PSS Concord's panels (as do I actualy) but this one just 'feels' better!
