Deeters posted:I went to an airshow in Massachusetts maybe 10 years ago where the A-10s fired blanks while someone set off pyrotechnics in front of the spectator area. Maybe it's something like that? That's what they do at the airshows down here. It's always fun to watch the people who aren't paying attention freak out, especially the ones coming out of the porta-potties.

That was the F-117's nickname. One of them, anyway. Wobblin' Goblin was another.

Some crazy Brits have plans to return the Concorde to service. quote:When Concorde flew for the last time almost 12 years ago it was assumed that it would never enter service again. With financing now secured, however, a group of Concorde experts are confident that the aircraft could recommence flights by the end of this decade. Aviation enthusiasts who may not have the means to fly on board could also have the opportunity to admire an aircraft placed on permanent display in central London. Chartering the Concorde sounds amazing frankly.

I'll only fly my novelty SST flights on a swing-wing 2707 thank you e: so after boeing builds a 797 which I'm sure they'll do eventually are they going to go with 1707 as their next model or what? 7107? Or are we going for 7A7 so that at the heat death of the universe when they release a 7Z7-900ER they still haven't left three-character model names?

Hasn't Airbus (the descendant/parent company of what used to be Aérospatiale-EADS) said explicitly that they're not going to be supporting Concorde going forwards? As in, no parts, no parts overhauls, no structural support, no systems support, etc? I could see them pulling off a Vulcan-style airshow circuit, possibly for a while, but continuing regular service would get real interesting the first time they had a non-routine maintenance item.

As I understand it most of the Concorde hulls are in really good condition, considering. It's the hydraulics and fuel systems that are the big deal.

Hey, I didn't mention the one of a kind engines, the avionics, or the pneumatics. Or even that most of them have been sitting outside for 15 years.
