Concorde was --and still is today-- a unique passenger plane.
You'd land in new York one hour before your departure from Paris. Think about it..
It was --and still is-- one of the most beautiful planes in the air.
Watching a Concorde take off was an awesome spectacle, albeit a noisy one.
All the objections and critics against it --almost all coming from one side of the Atlantic... Had little to do with safety but more with the fact that no US manufacturer had been able to come up with something similar.
Not enough rentability, they said.
Yeah, sure..
And yes, my british friends, it was a Franco-British venture, or a Britanno-French one if you wish. Just demonstrated what we could do when we stop bickering.
Now all we can come up with are ugly meatwagons like the A-380.
800 passengers. Oooooohhh!! I bet if you put them in layers you'lle be able to cram at least 2 000 inside...
Yes, I know, rentability. And yes I know, lawyers must make a living too..
You toucha my Concorde I killa your sister.
