Farewell To The Concorde

Posted by Hemos on from the good-bye-cruel-world dept.

mstamat writes "BBC has a number of features on the Concorde airplanes, the timeline of their existence and their retirement. Among else, there is a virtual tour of Concorde's cockpit and a few words from journalist Mary Goldring who was opposing Concordes from the start."

    You call a gas guzzling, loud sonic booming, able to carry only 144 passengers in a tight cabin airplane excellent? Safer than a Boeing? Extremely doubtful. The only thing that the Condore had going for it was that it was the only one. Period. There was a similarly styled Russion super-sonic , the TU-144 "Concordski", that crashed at a French airshow and was quickly retired and never got to show it's stuff. CD
