I'm sure that many of us were disappointed when Microsoft removed Concorde from FS2002. There were many options for the budding Concorde pilot to take; Payware, Freeware or DIY. Luckily, one of the best freeware Concorde distributions by Mario Coehlo is now available for download. Mario Coehlo's Concorde for FS2002, as featured in PC Pilot magazine is now available for download, the package, totalling 12MB is a complete compilation of aircraft, panel, sounds and textures for ease of install - no configuration is required.
The aircraft has been based on the native FS2000 model, but with major adaptations and improvements for the FS2002 architecture. The model includes a great realistic panel, with full functionality - including the new ATC features available in FS2002, that were not present in FS2000. The aircraft includes complete working undercarriage, moving rudders, ailerons, spoilers - and the famous 'swivel nose'. The nose can be tilted in increments to suit the types of flight that Concorde endures. Mario Coehlo's Concorde for FS2002 can be downloaded by clicking here.

In early 1957 a strange aircraft took to the skies over Burbank California. The craft had four turboprop engines with four-blade propellers, and a wing that seemed too small for the airplane. The wing, in actuality, had enough wing area; most of it was just covered up by the engine exhaust, which extended past the trailing edge of the wing. It was called the Lockheed L-188A Electra, named after the other successful Electra that that same company made in the 1930’s.
