Concordes

Not only do I think we should be able to buy Concordes, take a look at what I got for flight sim!

In 1970, United Airlines agreed to purchase 4 supersonic jets (Which by the picture above is named as a Concorde*. Yes, that did make no sense.), then backed out of it.

*If I had said that it was a Concorde instead of a supersonic jet (there are about 2 that I know of), then that might be plagerism.

Theres many more than two. There was the Russian SST, The Boeing one (never happened), the European one, and some other ones that we dont care about

I love the concord! Bit hard to fly in FS but great fun. I layed my hand on the test flight one at Le Bourget (they have 2) and it sent shivers through me. I'm not a perv...promise

Below is an edit I made a looong time ago.

Wow. The majestic Concorde. She will reign again. Maybe if it doesn't, then we have supersonic travel in other ways to ook forward too. :wink:

The british or french government should have bought one each as their air force one's :cry:

Air Force one should have one as well as every other country. Now no more, "My plane is better than yours!,"

Remember what happened to flight AF4590 in year 2000. If this was an "Air Force One"... I dont want to even think about it.

Wouldn't have been more tragical then AF4590 in any case.

Boeing has one parked at the Museum of Flight

I go by it once or twice every few months on my scoot. What a beautiful piece of art.

super sonic jets are so cool. I jush don't see why anyone would want to get rid of them...

Don't answer that.

They'll return sooner or later... Just waiting for the technology to catch up.

The next breed of supersonic aircraft will be business jets
