    So, if there was a blog dedicated to the aviation industry, what would it be called? "Boeing Boeing"! Get it? HAHAHAHAAaaa..aaa...
    Ok, I'll go away now.

    Man, I would pay good money to fly supersonic. And for me, it wouldn't be about getting to the destination faster. It would be the experience. I feel all warm and fuzzy.

    Hey, well at least there's the British Airways Concorde sitting by the Intrepid, though the engine cowlings are empty, and one of the powerplants is sitting in a glass box next to the jet.

    Just because it was faster doesn't mean it was better technology.


    The space shuttle is newer than Rockets cone-shaped command modules, yet it was actually a step backwards in capability. Increased cost and lower payload.


    In the long run it didn't actually save us money, and we now literally have to re-invent the rocket to get back to the moon.

    "this puppy isn't fit for flight anyway, as it wasn't given the safety upgrade that the others got after that 2000 Paris crash"


    It worked fine (and safe) for 30 years before the freak accident. It's because of the noise it's not allowed in any airport. Except like 3.

    Maybe we can convince Dubai investors to buy GM, Chysler, AIG, CitiGroup... That would solve a bunch of problems.

    When I was a kid, Concorde could only mean one of two things: one was the supersonic jet and the other was grape jelly. Which reminds me of jelly donuts. Mmm donuts....

    Considering that an iPod Touch probably has more computer power than all the Concords combined, I am amazed that this thing could actually fly safely.
