You know, Bill. 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 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.
