On Saturday 14 June 2003 at 10 am, Air France Concorde F-BTSD will take off from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport for the very last time, heading for Le Bourget.
Concorde F-BTSD (serial number 13), which entered the company's fleet on 9 May 1980, holds the highest number of records: the speed record for a commercial airliner flying westward around the world, in October 1992, and the round-the-world speed record in the eastward direction in August 1995, three years later. The aircraft has made 11 round-the-world flights and totalled 12,974 hours in the course of its 5,136 flights.

This Concorde, better known as "Sierra Delta", weighs 930 kg less than the heaviest Concorde, and therefore consumes less fuel, explaining its outstanding performance.

Concorde 001 F-WTSS:
Maiden flight from Toulouse, the first flight of a Concorde. With Chief Test Pilot Andre Turcat at the controls the aircraft made a 28 minute flight with undercarriage and nose remaining down and finished with a perfect landing. For the next few months the aircraft would be used to test and validate the design principles of Concordes performance and handling / the 2nd March 1969.

Concorde 001 F-WTSS retired to the Air and Space Museum at Le Bourget Aiport, Paris / 19th October 1973.
