Petition for keeping one Concorde flying

Don't know if you know about this, but the petition to keep Concorde
flying is going to change. The emphasis is now going to be on keeping
one airworthy to be used at airshows, etc.

If you want to sign the petition (anyone that signed the old one will
automatically be carried over to the new one) it's linked from the
website below.

Oh dear, why bother - it's obvious that it's not going to happen. No
petition of any size is going to influence Airbus! There is no cost benefit
from flying a Concorde for airshows is there?

Sounds like tilting at wind-mills, Paul... :-(

We'd all love to see one fly again, but it isn't going to happen by
petition.

Maybe not. But then there isn't to keep Spirfires or Lancasters or
Hurricanes or Hunters flying, or returning Vulcans, Lightnings or
Buccaneers to the air.

No, maybe not. But someone somewhere may see how much
support there is, so it may help. It's not a "hey, we demand you
keep it flying" sort of petition, it's more a "we'd support any
person or organisation that has a plan", or a "come on guys, look
how people love this machine" sort of thing.

It takes $$$$$$$ to keep airplanes flying not petitions.

I am not an aviation buff by any means, but I would say the sheer size and
complexities of Concorde, not least the more specialist parts it needs, are
prohibitive for Airbus to keep it flying for such un-occasional use.

I expect all the others listed fly, or are being fixed to re-fly, with
donations of hundreds or thousands of pounds. Surely Concorde would cost
millions to keep flying - and nobody is going to pay that!

I admit it is a shame - I was there at Heathrow to watch the last landings.

And, isn't it a case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted?
All the Concorde's have gone, or are going, to their new static homes -
there isn't a Concorde left to fly is there??

....and complacency to keep one grounded.

Indeed!

Millions, probably. Millions here too. Still hope it happens!
