Aerospatiale / BAC
Concord. The worlds first Supersonic aircraft to enter regular
passenger service. the first Concord took to the air in 1969.
Concord finally entered service in 1976 when Air France and British
Airways simultaneous departures. Air France concord to South America and British
airways Concord to The Middle East. part of the reason for the long delay
in coming into service was the Us ban on the aircraft flying into
the US due to noise. But soon after 1976 this ban was lifted and
Concord started regular flights to the US. sad to say October 2003 will see the
last concord flights by British Airways (Air France flights have already
stopped). The aircraft will be destined for many Museums.
