Default Concorde - join the campaign

wrote:
Hi all,

The campaign to get Concorde flying again has attracted 2,000
signatures this week!

Please add your support at
www.save-concorde.com.

To sum up the situation:
- we aren't arguing with the reasons Concorde went out of service - the
airframes were over 25 years old, whereas the average age of British
Airways fleet is less than five years

- Airbus receives billions of Euros every year in subsidy - it has a
duty to build the best planes it can for the people of Europe

- the A380 and A350 (which hasn't yet started) are highly questionable
projects

- fresh Concorde air-frames could be built by Airbus at modest cost,
and given that R&D has already been written-off, the tickets could be
priced much lower.

PLEASE add your support to the petition at www.save-concorde.com


I give up, what connection to NAVAL AVIATION does this subject apply too?
