Thirty three years ago...

[ozzy72]

Well thirty three years ago Concorde did its first long-haul flight from Paris to New York and slashed the Atlantic crossing time by 50%. I still miss her

Concordes were rather beautiful! I miss them as well, they should make a newer, more fuel efficient one (is that possible going that fast) Cheers, Gunny

EDIT: Fixed my typo Cheers!

Concorde (with an E) was always referred to in the singular. I think this is unique for an aircraft of any type. There have been several proposals for a replacement or improved SST but so far these have proved either too expensive or impractical. I think Concorde will remain unique.

Well too bad I guess, at least we can still see them in Flight sim.... Cheers, Gunny

Technically, wouldn't the Dakar-Rio leg of the Paris to Rio de Janeiro original routing be the Concorde's first transatlantic crossing?

Yes I saw her twice at Heathrow while landing and taking off will not be able to get off my mind till i am on planet earth.

concord's are just awesome

if we want to make a replacement i have an idea

we take pauls cessna 152, strap a ej2000 engine to it and watch it cross the atlantic

Since I could have never afforded a Concorde flight, I don't care at all if she's flying or not.
Honestly, there are a lot better and efficient aircraft out there.

i think its a british thing to love the concorde

If anyone has a few minutes, you can log onto Deltava.org and sign up. Then go into the fleet library and there pilots can download a pretty sweet concorde. It comes in a few Air France Textures. Also they have a 757-200 Delta Song which is rare on SimV.

I've noticed.  

A few years ago, Boeing mused with an idea of designing an air transport that used hyper cruise engines.  It didn't get very far.  Maybe it has something to do with people STILL not wanting to hear sonic booms on a regular basis.
