@MrDragon1968 I heard at the time when these birds were to be put out of action that Richard Branson Virgin Airlines vowed to keep them flying if they could get British airways to sell them to Virgin but there was a strong competition with those airlines and that British airways rather have them as museum pieces than see its rival flying concordes.

Pity......

@edulitto1 Yes dude, only ONE crash. It had a superb safety record. I have no idea where you're getting you're information from. They stopped it because Airbus wasn't going to supply the parts anymore, the airline industry got into a lot of trouble after 9/11 (which was a year after the crash) and running expenses became too high, and BA and Air France decided to let it go.

@MrDragon1968  ohhh yea? only 1??? so You dont watch the news right? and think logical why wuld they stop produce concorde?????

@edulitto1 shut yer face

[rsmrsm111]

I hope they make them fly again one day!

@edulitto1

the plan only crashd one's all the others where small tyre rips that did not make the plane crash

[MrDragon1968]

@edulitto1 So, how many crashes did they actually have edulitto1? One- that's how many. I think you'll find Concorde had one of the best ever safety records of any passenger aircraft in the forty years it flew. It was an engineering masterpiece.

Y'know what pisses me off? The French had far more respect for their Concordes in the end (after they were grounded) than we had in the UK. I've hated BA ever more since that time.

ALL BECAUSE OF AIR FRANCE CONCORD IS GONE!!!!!

@edulitto 1 - It only had the one accident in over 30 years... how many other intercontinental airliners can boast a safety record like that? My late father was on the original design team and on board carrying out tests back in the 1960's between Fairford (England) and Toulouse (France). We lived about 12 miles from Heathrow, and even after 20 years EVERY time it took off, we all would stop whatever we were doing and admire the sheer beauty of this awesome piece of machinery. oh well!!!
