@podiumman2 good question! seems like they were doing better then than where we are at now.
-
Why is the future in the past??
-
They only ever built 14 of these.. I think Virgin Atlantic thought about buying some after BA and Air France decided to shut them down, but again to costly.. you have to have butts on seats to make it in the airlines, unless its short runs. Oh yeah if you are british that's bums :))

Why would Braniff sink its last remaining dollars in the Concorde gimmick?
Must have cost a bundle like having Alexander Caulder do the livery for the
planes (although that was money well spent). I don't get the Concorde
thing though. And the Concorde might have 'zoomed' past the B747 but
Boeing is doing quite nicely after the Concorde is grounded. (B747-8,
B787 Dreamliner, B737-800, B777 Series....

Star 841 Is 100% correct (posted 3 years ago) The British&the French had a joint venture. I don't know about the Braniff leg from DFW to Dulles. I belive If i remember the Braniff flight was to boost Braniff it was starting to decline (in stock)at that time.

Like, what's the point in flying a supersonic plane subsonically from Texas to Washington D.C., trade out flight crews for the European trip, change the registration numbers, and not even have "Braniff" plastered on the plane? Seems like a lot of trouble, and a complete waste of time. That's like taking Greyhound to Minneapolis from Des Moines, then swapping the driver and replacing the Greyhound titles with Trailways for the trip to Lansing.

I know this is a crazy observation but this is why I like to call the NFL's NFC East, the "Concorde" division, a division with economically advanced big cities, a division like no other in North American professional sports.

I flew a Braniff/BA Concorde DFW to Dulles in 1979. It was awesome! These were the only affordable Concorde flights. Flying mach 0.95 over land we passed a 747 which had taken off from DFW a half hour before. The other plane seemed motionless as we zoomed overhead.

From what I understand, and I'm not sure what information conflicts here with BraniffPages' 'about video,' is that this Concord was part of a Angelo-French investment. Allowing Braniff International to fly the Concord from DFW to IAD (Dulles), with Braniff Flight and Inflight crews. The remaining legs to London or France were flown by AF or BA crews. Braniff never owned a Concord; British Airways had ownership throughout the operation. Think of it as a awesome code share agreement. =)
