Concorde's final commercial flight
« on: October 24, 2003, 05:27:46 PM »
Not Amiga related I know but I feel its important enough to warrent a news article.

Concorde has retired today after nearly 35 years of flight and more that 25 years of passenger service, bringing to an end the era of supersonic passenger transportation. It now seems destined to become a part of history in museums...

It is a sad time, but the inevitable really only came forward a few years. We should celebrate what Concorde was and still is - the only profit making Supersonic Passenger Jet to ever to go into regular revenue service. The Americans or Russians could not even do it - that's how far ahead of its time it was ... and still is!

@Brian

the "corncordski" never entered commercial flight and the program was cancelled after the crash. And there you have to ask was it really a russian design and not just a concorde... there are a lot of people who think the russians stole the concorde design...
