Diceman,

I am sure that Lewis is correct and Cincinnati did not get the Concorde in the deal, I was told that it would never be flown; I do not remember the reason.

One of the reasons is that its outside the limit of the AMA experimental category for jets - which is 75 lbs max, wet. I believe that I heard somewhere that the AMT Concord (which is *much* bigger than the model by Michael from Germany which I think the model above is) tops the scales at over 100 lbs dry...
