Back in the late 80's flying helo's in and out of JFK it was always cool to hear speedbird call in on the radio and look out the window and see the concorde approaching.

Express.
What we used at Federal Express, many moons ago. Reminds me of a much better time, in a much different company, and flight department. I felt like we were the overnight express train, getting from point A to B as fast as possible, and enjoying the job as we tried to find as many ways as possible to make it faster.
