On \u003cstrong\u003e1 September 1975\u003c\/strong\u003e, Alpha Charlie became the first aircraft to make \u003cstrong\u003efour Atlantic crossings in a single day\u003c\/strong\u003e. On \u003cstrong\u003e24 May 1976\u003c\/strong\u003e, she was the first Concorde in commercial service to land on US soil, touching down at Washington Dulles Airport after months of diplomatic negotiations between the UK and US governments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eOn \u003cstrong\u003e19 December 1985\u003c\/strong\u003e, G-BOAC set the highest recorded ground speed for a commercial airliner — an astonishing \u003cstrong\u003e1,488 mph\u003c\/strong\u003e. To mark 10 years in service, four British Airways Concordes, including Alpha Charlie, flew in formation over the Atlantic — a moment that remains one of aviation's most spectacular sights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eBefore entering airline service, G-BOAC was used by BAC to complete airworthiness certification, including air conditioning checks and auto-landing trials, before route-proving duties across Bahrain, Singapore, and beyond. She was returned to BAC in 1976 after 141 flights for refurbishment, then re-entered service as one of the most celebrated aircraft in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ABC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40969429745746,"sku":"DCM-CON","price":26.04,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2457\/7775\/files\/diecast-model-aircraft-1400-british-airways-concorde-aircraft-models-abc-pilot-shop-0qa.png?v=1764293188","url":"https:\/\/astrolabeoutdoors.co.nz\/products\/diecast-model-aircraft-1-400-concorde","provider":"Pilot Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
