Concorde : it's finished !

It's the last flight between Paris and New York today, in one hour, there will be no more Concorde in our skys.
RIP ! :(

Beautiful !

Jeez, that sucks...I always wanted to take a trip on that! What happened? Regular old bankruptcy?

The Concorde is not any more competitive and makes not enough profits.
The British Richard Branson (CEO of Virgin) could buy some planes and use Concorde in his own flying company, so we could fly again in this marvellous plane ;) But that's not sure at all.

RIP...and its still wayyyyyyyyy ahead out of its time

Damn I'm going to miss them :(:(



Still far ahead of it's time 20 years on- and the safest way to travel the skies :(

And I was hoping we'd get planes that would fly into space and then back down (in other words going post mach 5) sometimes soon.. haha.. aw ;) But I suppose the economy is totally pooped around the world and people need to save money.. Heck no biggie, its still travelling, people travelled by boats that would take months of travel, I'm sure we can get used to ten hours of travel across an ocean vs months haha :D

But what's weird is that the 'regular' planes are built cheaper and cheaper no wonder there are so many 'smoking' situations :rolleyes: If people got together like they did in the 'old days' as is the case with the concorde. People (a buncha countries) could build a cheaper and better then concorde solution.. but noo :/ Ah well.

Not only is the concorde expensive as shit to fly on, its a gas guzzler and loud as all hell too. Kinda like my car... prolly why nobody wants it :(
