it is not the only supersonic airliner, the tupolev Tu-144 was the first supersonic airliner, a few years before concorde, and it looked quite similar
Actually the Russians beat Concorde in the race for supersonic flight but the Tupolev crashed twice and once atthe Paris Airshow, causing the plane to be grounded forever.
In the news it was said that the French kept 1 of their Concordes and are fixing it up and improving it. But they are trying to find an airline that will pay the millions needed to make Concorde fly again.
Beatuful plane, and beautiful tribute. Politics killed it. Wish Branson would have succeeded in taking over the fleet, it would have been a matching partner for Virgin Galactic space travel. Virgin Supersonic. Maybe, just maybe , one day...
wonderful tribute to a lost icon, and the first time in recent history be have gone backwards, I flew jfkto heathrow in herin 1992 and enjoyed every minute
I loved concorde i have a picture of all four concordes in the sky together and signed by all 4 pilots wish they were still here, she was amazing to fly in :).
Well to me air travel is appalling, no I don't want to sit in a crowded aircraft for hours, but I would have flown on Concorde. And as for the noise - I hate all noise, - except aircraft, OceanCityinc is right, it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Good for Aviation not so good for Passengers. Though the COncorde would have been like luxury I would have loved to fly in it, but not at such a high price, Seeing it fly over head would be one hell of a sight.
Anybody know how much a Ticket would have costed for Concorde?
I love the noise of an airplane engine , it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
Bloody noisy beast. Too much fuel and prices were expensive. Speed isn't everything. Hey what is the rush? Wouldn't you like to relax in the air playing pool or watching a movie without being pinned back in your seat due to g force?
Flying is a sensual art, concorde has died, end of the concorde era. When I saw concorde take off, some people fainted, some cried with joy, some screamed with enthusiasm. I stood there with earache.
Visionofthefuture... Your entitled to your opinion but you obviously don't know what concorde is and never will. "being pinned back in your seat due to g force" I think you need to back to school and study physics mate! You might actually find out what G force is.
Blame airbus not BA! why didn't Branson buy them? not sustainable without certification! Concorde was BA's most profitable product, you really think they wanted it's retirement after spending millions bringing it back?
Regarding the airline it is a fact that it still is the worlds most well known airline to date and one of the most respectable ones too have one superbrand of the year in the uk! What about flying with them then judging them probably the most rational attitude!
This plane could still be flying except for the arrogance of BA. They even bought them for £1 each. Beautiful ladies grounded by a spiteful hateful airline.
Regardless of what BA wanted, without a certificate of airworthiness, an aicraft is not permitted to fly. Blame Airbus if you must blame someone. They pulled the certificate after Air France retired their Concordes.
I'm proud to fly for BA, furthermore knowing that BA was 1 of the only airlines in the world to operate the fleet!A v emotional and deserved farewell to such an amazing piece of aeronautical eng. she'll undoubtedly cont. to be missed by all who operated on her and pax alike!I v much bet that this tribute to Concorde brings many a tear and goosebumps to the whole comm. of crew at BA! It makes you proud!Congratulations to Capt. A Thompson and what an outstanding tribute to the legacy of Concorde!
Definitely a fitting tribute for the Concorde... I was fortunate enough to fly to New York to watch her make a final scheduled trans-Atlantic run in back in October 23.
OceanCityInc, the song is called "Adiemus" by the group of the same name. At one point, it was also the theme song for Delta Airlines.

There is four settings for the nose.
1. Fully up with visor this is selected for supersonic flight.
2. visor down with nose up for prolonged subsonic flight
3. Nose 5 degrees down for grater visibility on take off and taxing.
4. Nose 12.5 degrees down for grater visibility upon approach and landing
