Also interesting to see how much has happened within a few decades. We will never forget you Saede!

Best plane ever made was the XF-84 "Thunderscreech"
And how awesome was it?

Concorde was an impressive machine, but all in all it was a mistake. Was born out of the "faster is better" mentality that transitioned from propellers to jets and also from cheap oil, and lacking those, it was left behind the economy curve. Curently, nobody would pay for the true cost of SST (I think it's telling that military never bothered themselves with SST) and currently air transportation as a business is driven by price. Put in short, there's not enough people whose time is worth enough to pay for SST, and so it's unlikely we ever see SST again. The Greater Fool Bar-áis now open for business, 24/7.
