Imagine living in the late sixties during the space race, the moon landing and Concorde being buillt, what must have people thought life was going to be like in the year 2000? Flying cars and and space ships on Mars?

No seems like we've taken steps backwards, no more Concorde, not even the space shuttle, all we have is Facebook and Twitter..lol
It's my pleasure to be able to provide pictures and videos of this magnificent aircraft that alot on here haven't seen, It is a shame and indeed huge step back in aviation industry after being prematurely retired due to Air France as major cause of it!. It had nothing to do with a single crash in 2000 but it's seeds were sown in ground back in late 80's and early 90's!, single crash was just there excuse to retire them through media propaganda and presenting forged operational figures to Airbus and by persevering them to revoke it's air worthiness certificate....unfortunately BA got sucked into it and were forced to retire there fleet also.

There is great article and a true story that if anyone is really interested in knowing what really happened behind closed doors, it's called "Betrayal of Concorde", read it....


G-BOAG taking off for the last time from CYYZ's runway 33R!, I was photographing her from top of original T1 on 2nd October 2003!, I clearly remember her rotating off the runway at very short distance and she climbed away rapidly into our skies....She was fully booked as each seat was sold for $1000! from short flight from here to JFK.


G-BOAG is now preserved in not so great of condition at Museum of flight's airpark, where CF-TGE is "My girl", RA-001, VC-135 AF 1, AA B722 and prototype B731.....
