But the value of Concorde was far more than can be expressed by the short-arms-long-pockets brigade.
For those who visit Cambridge, UK take a trip to Duxford aerospace museum and see the Concorde prototype. Notice the old guys manning the display, get talking to them. They are immensely proud of that aircraft.
I'll try to go by there sometime. I walked through a Concorde in Seattle.Not a big plane, and glad that it would be a short flight, but I wish I'd had the chance to fly one.
