I'm up too late as usual, trolling YouTube for interesting vids... this caught my eye. Concorde in the hands of a "stick and rudder" pilot, for sure!

Because it wasn't making money. Simple as that.

The terrible accident certainly helped everybody make up their minds about that, although yes, it was not competing at all in the current climate of budget long-distance flying and outrageous fuel prices.
It's sad, but it's a fact: ask any airplane owner what keeps a plane in the air, and he will tell you "money".
