摘要

Dick Karl's Concorde memory [in "Tripping the Light Fantastic," June+July] reawakened one of my own. I should explain that, for decades, I have been a travel advisor in California that included working contacts in Africa. At the time, the evil dictator Idi Amin took over Uganda. He murdered and expelled all business people of Indian and Goanese background. Arthur Fernandez, my tour operator of Goanese descent, barely escaped. He ended up at the Saudi Royal Court, an advisor to the Saudi king. The [Court] asked Arthur to recommend a travel agent in the USA. Arthur suggested me. So, I took care of the royal family's intense travel arrangements. On one occasion, I had an early morning working breakfast with a Saudi prince at the Connaught [Hotel] in London, rushed to Heathrow, hopped aboard Concorde, and had a second working breakfast with a royal princess at the Waldorf Astoria in New York the same day. It also so happens that I flew on Concorde on its initial flight from Mexico City to Washington, D.C., and Paris. I happened to sit next to the French ambassador to Mexico. Shortly before arrival in Paris, the chief hostess came to tell the ambassador that the captain wanted him to move to the cockpit to observe the landing. The ambassador asked her to include me. She stated that was not possible. The ambassador then declined. Shortly thereafter, she returned and said it was OK. So, just like Dick Karl, I sat in a jumpseat behind the captain as Concorde rumbled down from sonic and touched down at De Gaulle.
