Air France will donate four Concorde to museums
Hi,
Air France announced Wednesday that it would donate 4 of its 5 Concorde to several museums in June: Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace at Le Bourget, Technik Museum Speyer at Sinsheim (Germany), National Air and Space Museum at Washington, and the future aeronautic park at the Toulouse plant of Airbus. The 5th one would be exposed at Charles-de-Gaulle airport after the cessation of flight next saturday.
Thanks

Too mean to buy a long personal title
The one going to Le Bourget is currently scheduled to fly there on 14 June, the day before the show opens. There is speculation that there may be some flying during the show, which would be fabulous, and entirely fitting. See http://www.concordesst.com/latestnews.html for more news.

Concorde to Washington???
I thought, after the "minor" disagreements between US and the French, this was a joke. OK, on the other hand, it shows the Yanks each day what they were NOT able to build
cheers, al
