Concorde Final flight:HD Tranquility Base Razorfish ( Audio 320kb

My tribute to Concorde a remarkable aircraft.
On 10 April 2003, Air France and British Airways simultaneously announced that they would retire Concorde later that year. They cited low passenger numbers following the 25 July 2000 crash, the slump in air travel following the September 11 attacks and rising maintenance costs.

That same day, Sir Richard Branson offered to buy British Airways' Concorde fleet at their "original price of £1" for service with his Virgin Atlantic Airways. Branson claimed this to be the same token price that British Airways had paid the British Government, but BA denied this and refused the offer. The real cost of buying the aircraft was £26 million each but the money for buying the aircraft was lent by the government (which in turn took 80% of the profits). Subsequently BA bought two aircraft for a book value of £1 as part of the £16.5 million buy out in 1983.

Concorde was the fastest supsonic plane ( non military) that existed , I just verified .

@michelst14 Yes but did you like the video?

This is really the most beautiful passenger plane ever built! Its such a shame that there now wasting away in museums when they should be still in the skies. Their design and look is timeless.
