Concorde

Avec son cou et ses pattes tendus cette grande aigrette me rappelle notre avion supersonique " concorde ".
The supersonic British/French Concorde. It cruised at Mach 2, 1170 mph, with a maximum altitude of 60,000ft. The first passenger flights were in 1976 and for 27 years it flew between Europe and USA in less than 3 1/2 hours. In contrast to its elegant and timeless outer form, its cramped, analogue flight deck shows its age terribly.
C'EST LA SEULE PHOTO DU CONCORDE VOLANT À UNE VITESSE SUPERSONIQUE !
THIS IS THE ONLY PHOTO OF THE CONCORDE FLYING AT SUPERSONIC SPEED !

En avril 1985, un jet Tornado de la Royal Air Force (RAF) a rencontré un Concorde au-dessus de la mer d'Irlande et Adrian Meredith a pu prendre une photo de l'avion volant à une vitesse supersonique.
Le Concorde était une merveille de l'aviation !
Le 7 février 1996, il a réalisé sa traversée transatlantique la plus rapide, reliant New York à Londres en un temps stupéfiant de 2 heures, 52 minutes et 59 secondes. Le jet supersonique avait une vitesse maximale de Mach 2,04 (1 354 mph ou 2 180 km/h à l'altitude de croisière) et pouvait transporter entre 92 et 128 passagers. Entré en service en 1976, le Concorde est resté en service pendant 27 ans, redéfinissant le transport aérien.

The two supersonic passenger aircraft Concorde and Tupolev TU 144 were developed independently of each other in France/England and in the USSR

Today saw the first flight of Concorde for many a year - if you believe Flightradar24 that is !!
After showing a " Live " tracking of Concorde flying from Paris to JFK New York it was repeated with a flight from London Heathrow to JFK using the Concrde G-BOAG which is now housed in a museum of flight in Seattle !!
I picked up on this as it was tracked over Nova Scotia as it head for JFK where it landed at 2:30 pm after leaving at 11:00 am . Flightradar24 did this so well it apparently crashed at some point - at the point I saw this there were around 45,000 people tracking the flight , so no wonder !!
I really missed the moment and did not take a shot of the screen or even take a screen shot !! Therefore here is a shot of a Concorde in the local travel agents window !!
Why one asks - well it is April the First !!
