Concorde RIP

Dont know how true it is but I've read that NASA engineers said that getting a man to the moon was much easier that designing an aircraft capable of mach 2+ over thousands of miles. BA dumped it when it became unprofitable (In the short term) even though they had been given them for free !!!

Disgracefull

and the french are going to rub our faces in it !!!!!! wont be long before we see an Air France Concorde over our sky
