"ShawnD2112" wrote in message ... You know, Bill. I've got to admit you're nothing if not good entertainment! I for one am sad to see the end of Concorde. For one minute each day there was the noise, but what a site. Whilst Concorde may be gone, its legacy will continue. Concorde was an Anglo French collaboration, which eventually paved the way for Airbus which now ships more aircraft than Boeing and will continue to out perform Boeing. Before someone says that Airbus is subsidized by its sponsoring governments and therefore poses unfair competition to Boeing just remember how many tax dollars Boeing gets for overpriced aircraft, inflated price research and state governments falling over themselves to offer advantageous terms for building new assembly plants. So every you see an Airbus, remember that Concorde was the founder member of the Airbus family. Dave |
