AVIATION PING!....................
NY to London. Quickness between two Islamic cities.
London is not Islamic.
Neither is NYC.
I guess “climate change” really is dead now for the Leftists!
Now if I can scratch up the 15K per ticket it will likely cost to fly on the new Concorde....
You might want to check your demographics (and mayors) there.
Question is, who in their right mind is in a hurry to get to England? 😆
You misspelled Christian.
If really entering service in 2026, I’d expect to see pictures of the new plane, not the old one.
Or maybe the new plane isn’t particularly “new”.
How nice. It’ll be like flying from New York to Pakistan in 2 hours. Don’t forget to bring your young daughters. Hard pass on that.
Mayor of London is Muslim.
But is London a Muslim majority city?
Nope.
Neither is New York City.
lol. I went to London and never saw an Englishman.
2023 one way ticket from London to NY was $2800
I believe, Joe, this comment supra, from RedBadger was one of sympathetic hyperbole, emphasizing the demographic
lean of the two cities.
Please, lighten up a bit? 😏
I remember back in the 60’s, the jets training over Texas would make sonic booms that would rattle the single pane glass in my grandmas house! Good times!!
I’ve lived in both London ans New York.
London is full of Englishmen.
Are there lots of Muslims?
Yes.
Are they the majority?
Nope.
“The U.S. President Donald J. Trump signed legislation that lifted the previous ban on supersonic flight over land on June 6, 2025. “
Somehow, I missed that.
Few will be able to afford the ticket price.
“In 1977, it cost £431 to fly one way onboard Concorde between London and Washington. Adjusted for inflation, that’s about £2,200 ($2,800) in today’s money. However, fare prices gradually went up, and by 1996, a roundtrip across the Atlantic would generally be priced at around $12,500 in today’s money.”
