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. No, AI has never shipped more aircraft than Boeing. AI will ship more civil aircraft this year than the ****heads at Boeing Perhaps, but this year is not past. Ironic that one of the Concordes is going to Boeing in Seattle. No doubt the Boeing engineers will enjoy having a look at her. I also imagine that they will take better care of her that the clowns at the Intrepid in New York. Mind you I still don't understand why BA and AirFrance have let the aircraft go to the US since it was the US that did its best to prevent Concorde being a commercial success. But then Concorde was not built in the USA. |

I doubt Boeing's engineers could give a flying **** about the Concorde, but plenty of tourists will enjoy the static display and say "glory days". I also imagine that they will take better care of her that the clowns at the Intrepid in New York. Mind you I still don't understand why BA and AirFrance have let the aircraft go to the US since it was the US that did its best to prevent Concorde being a commercial success. Concorde was never a comercial success, but it was a gigantic subsidy to European aerospace. |
