Its now my lifes ambition to get a ticket for it.
Funny thing about concorde is it's more advanced than the planes of today yet we've stopped using it in favour of more primitive things. :chin: makes you think really...
Its because the French can't clean their damned Runways of junk! :mad: They fucked it up for all of us!
Plus Concorde costs a bomb to keep flying as it gets older. And they won't let Richard Branson buy it. He should buy some Tu-144's instead.
on a lighter note, any airplane that can have a jacuzzi and a mini casino wins hands down imo :P
And only one. Such a shame to see Boeing doing badly, too, after their business practises.
Why are they wearing like astronaughts clothing/car mechainic overalls?
Flame retardant I think
The whole point of having more seats is that tickets prices are cheaper!!
Dont V. Vicky make the engines? ..
Anyway not bad for a plane only a little bigger then a Jumbo Jet - now it needs a cool name A380 don't sound very cool.
