Huh?

Flying the Concorde for who?

Braniff had a few Concorde pilots running around who ended up with other airlines in the US.

The highest time F14 driver in the World is a Captain at Delta. He worked production flight test for Grumman and used to take off and intercept the Concorde coming across the Atlantic to test the F14's.
