It's pretty sad to me that a European aircraft gleams in the sun, all shined up and pretty while the first 747 to ever fly sits nearby looking like a rats nest. How a$$ backwards is that? Ridiculous. I love the Concorde but I'll always love the Queen more. I don't care about speed. I care about class, and she's the greatest to ever fly.

Look at the underside of the Concorde and what do you see ?

No, you're right. I hadn't noticed the rust and fade on the Concorde. Still, why let the 74 go so badly like that? It's just frustrating to me as I believe that the ability to preserve history is one of our greatest blessings in this nation. I mean, these birds aren't even INSIDE.

Yes they schould have built a hangar but unfortunately they did not but on the other hand they could have at least given her a fresh coat of paint every ten years in order to compensate for that .
I found 2 videos of the Concorde arrival in Seattle but the quality left a lot to be desired so I did'nt post .
As far as air travel is concerned it kind of blows when one considers what might have been but wth people want to spent 8 hours on a plane instead of 3-4 then so be it.
