Concorde flights

[Andy Cheever]

I always wanted to fly Concorde but never got round to it and now it's probably too late. But are there any still flying anywhere with paying passengers?
Here's hoping.

Not at the moment but you neve know, from Wikipedia:

The small hope remaining for Concorde today rests with a dedicated group of French volunteer engineers keeping one of the youngest Concordes in near airworthy condition. This group of engineers, working on the Air France aircraft retired to the Le Bourget Air and Space Museum in Paris, hope that one day Concorde will be able to show her majesty by taking to the skies. Concordes based in Britain, however, have had their fluids drained and systems have been disconnected, making it even harder for her to regain airworthiness certification. It appears that the French hopes present a much better chance of seeing her fly in the future.

Thanks for that CheekyChops, like I said - here's hoping!

In the meantime!

Concorde back for virtual flight
Evening Standard (London), Jul 26, 2006

A WEYBRIDGE museum will unveil a fully-restored Concorde today when Prince Michael of Kent officially opens the unique exhibit. Visitors will be able to board the supersonic aircraft and experience a 'virtual flight' at Brooklands aviation and motor museum in Surrey from 1 August.

Thanks also snagged, that's interesting, but virtual versus reality? Not utterly convinced.
