Default Concorde flies again..............

The Concorde is back in action after the July 25 crash in Paris. What a beautiful and fast (New York to London in 3 1/2 hours) plane it is!

One of the beautiful aircraft to grace the skys. Hell of a shame that the Paris tragedy happened. Lets hope it flys a long time yet as a testament to all those lost.

I'd love to take a flight on Concorde, I understand BA took the opportunity to completely refurbish the interior of the fleet whilst it was grounded, very tasteful Jasper Conran styled decor now

Let's hope that one little accident doesn't hurt the reputation to much for people to fly with the.

Whereas I've always loved the Concorde, I'm glad super sonic passenger travel is something the U.S. government stayed away from. . . The reality is that dollar for dollar the concorde has never been a huge financial success. In addition, when you factor in the fact that the plane circulates its fuel through its wings to assist in cooling, I'm very glad the U.S. stayed away. . .
