Fine, then let's keep two of them flying.


Someone would have to pay and I suspect it would take all the airshow
income in the world to keep a couple of Concordes flying and that
would to the great disadvantage of many other interesting aircraft who
depend on airshows etc to help keep them in the air.

Concorde should rest peacefully in the museums safe in the knowledge
that as museum peices they are unique.

They are in terms of airframe, engines etc more techically advanced
than much else flying and will be for quite some time. Its not often
the case where museums are in that position.

Concorde RIP
