I am interested in another possible ramification of introducing the Boeing Sonic Cruiser.

I understand Concorde can not be placed into a holding pattern, but has to be given a straight in approach on every occasion. You can imagine the fun we would be having now (with present conjestion levels in controlled airspace) if Concorde had gone into large scale production.

Will the Sonic Cruiser be racetrackable, or will the Air Traffic Control authorities have to come up with some slight of hand to accomodate another straight in wonder?
