SORRY, WRONG NUMBER
During the Texas Air Expo June 11-15 in Waco, the British supersonic Concorde
will make two round-trip flights to take passengers from that central Texas
city to the Gulf of Mexico.
In the last TAC BULLETIN, persons wanting more information about booking
flights were invited to call Dr. Thomas L. Charlton in Waco.
Dr. Charlton was swamped with calls. He asked that we give the Concorde
contact person's name and number as:
Columbus World Wide Travel, London, EC2, England
call toll-free (between 3 a.m. and 12 p.m. CST: 1-800-543-4313).
The Concorde's two local flights from Waco to the Gulf of Mexico for 95
passengers each will cost $850 per passenger. All seats are first class.
