Concorde - Ears still ringing

I think you're right on that one, George. I don't think even a single
flying example is sustainable and, last I heard, all 5 airworthy ones are
destined for museum homes. The two non-flyers are due to be gate guards,
one at Heathrow, the other somewhere else which escapes me at the moment.
Sad but true.

supersonic acceleration out over the Atlantic.

They're making noises about keeping one of them running for exhibitions
and
shows (I'll bet Oshkosh counts as one of those). It's a real long shot,
though.
Parts support was expensive enough with the small fleet they had; it'll
cost
the earth for just one.
