They were probably surprised to see a Concorde land there, but they've seen stranger things - like a space shuttle. And you weren't even the fastest aircraft on Lackland AFB, since they have an SR-71 on display. My friends were actually there a few hours ago to show their grandson the aircraft on static display.
That is an ultra cool image.
The base doesn't have CAT II or CAT III autoland capability which is surprising being a military base although I'm going by Flight Simulator 2004 which is pretty old. When Concorde was in service it was the only commercial airliner that could perform CAT III landings which is usually only done by military aircraft.
