Too bad the Concorde is no more

ahh, in the days when the cost of oil wasn't such a big deal…….

Concorde is cool and all, but I'd rather see another Eliza Dushku post. But that's just me…

Was this made seperate of the concord, or was it stolen from the concord?

rather less successful than Concorde – from Wikipedia:

"The Tu-144 suffered a crash in 1973 at the Paris Air Show, delaying its development. The aircraft was introduced into passenger service on 1 November 1977, almost two years after the Concorde. In May 1978, another Tu-144 (an improved version, named Tu-144D) crashed in a test flight while being delivered, and the passenger fleet was permanently grounded after only 55 scheduled flights. The aircraft remained in use as a cargo plane until 1983, by which point a total of 102 commercial flights had been completed. The Tu-144 was later used by the Soviet space programme to train pilots of the Buran spacecraft, and by NASA for supersonic research."

Eliza Dushku for the WIN!

necesidad de comprobar:)

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the mesasge home a bit, but instead of that, this is great blog. A great read. I will definitely be back.
