should Concorde have been dropped from service?
On 10 April 2003, British Airways and Air France simultaneously announced that they would retire Concorde later that year. They cited low passenger numbers following the 25 July 2000 crash, the slump in air travel following 9/11 and rising maintenance costs.
That same day, Sir Richard Branson offered to buy British Airways’ Concordes at their “original price of £1″ for service with his Virgin Atlantic Airways. Branson claimed this to be the same token price that British Airways had paid the British Government, but BA denied this[18] and refused the offer. However, although the cost of buying the aircraft was £26 million each, the money for buying the aircraft was loaned by the government – this loan was written off when British Airways was privatised in 1987.
It doesn’t matter how much it cost it was such a step forward for the human race in technology and engineering, I don’t think it should have been take out of service it was fantastic to see… It like were going back in time now there is nothing like Concord and never will be apart from military planes and aircraft carriers…
There are so many generations that wont know what its like to fly at mach 3…….. We are now no more nearer to putting a man on the moon “again” then fly around the world at the speed of sound….. Please some one bring back the iron bird…. She’s probably sitting there wondering what she did to make people stop flying her and making people feel good about them selves…. Sod the bleeding economy with a leader like the one we have now there will be nothing left too enjoy in 20 years….
