[quote Don Kiyoti]Well in all fairness, part of the blame for the current misery that is air travel goes to us, the passengers. We wanted cheap, the airlines gave us cheap. You get what you pay for.
Anyway, Concorde was a fantastic airplane and I regret having never seen one in flight, much less having a ride on one.
Unfortunately I was one of the minority who wanted good and reliable instead of cheap. So it has been close to 10 years since I last flew. Will only fly now if there is no alternative, and driving for a couple days is an alternative as far as I am concerned.
As for the Concorde, did manage to see one coming in to land a couple decades ago. But that was as close as I ever got.
