Concord on the flight deck of the USS Intrepid in New York City.
Well, it’s actually on a barge next to The Intrepid, but it would fit there if they had wanted to.

As I recall, they were mostly German tourists. The macabre joke at the time is that the French killed more Germans with that SST flight than in the entire battle for France in 1940.
You can fly from NYC to London on Pakistani Airlines for 2 goats and a camel.

I think you’re out of touch.

Islam is growing politically at supersonic speed in all major western cities.
“I guess “climate change” really is dead now for the Leftists!”
No they are going to fly it in SAF which is sustainable aviation fuel. Built up syntheticly molecule by molecule. From syngas derived from biomass. The fuel is ideal for this aircraft it’s designer fuel from the get go. Higher in density per gallon than JetA, much better temperature stability , much lower gel point too. Those last two are critical when you are using your jet fuel as a heat sink at mach 2+ and 60,000 feet.
Price is not going to be an issue with the kinds of fares they can charge for this premium service it’s not for plebs but for the jet set class who won’t blink at the ticket prices.
SAF has been made from lignin too specifically the aromatics needed for seals and energy density. Lignin is all aromatic ring polymers to begin with. Coal is largely also all aromatics due to lignin being the main starting component to coal when it was laid down in coal swamps and peat bogs.
Still sounds like total BS to me.
I’d love to see that “sustainability” of the cost of producing that.

The caliphate is not about changing the culture. They are about "death to" and about the elimination of culture.
Where are the New York City ones, which was what my post was about.
Not to mention any Sharia Court will not and cannot take precedence over state laws or the American constitution.
You wanna try again?
I made my point, but you blockheadedly choose to deny it.
There is another concord at the Udvar-Hazy in Virginia. I wonder if they will take the airframe back and retrofit them with modern engines, interiors and avionics. Seems to be the only way to get airfares airborne by 2026 unless someone has been secretly building more and waiting for POTUS to sign this law into effect. I bet the one’s not in the museums were kept in flight ready conditions so it could be just engines swaps and engine cert flights. Do the avionics and interiors later or one by one.
Nothing is growing at supersonic spreads.
Population of London is still only 15% Muslim, even after what 6 years of a Muslim mayor.
The U.S. Navy made jet fuel from seawater in 2013 for $6 per gallon in 2013 dollars. They flew an f18 with it.
[The average cost of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in the US is currently around $8.81 per gallon. This is significantly higher than the average cost of traditional JetA fuel, which is around $6.18 per gallon.]-according to RMI
A $3 increase in jet fuel cost is not a deal breaker not for $3000+ one way tickets.
The original Concorde got 15.8 passenger miles per gallon. It’s 3450 miles JFK to London. That’s 218 gallons per passenger. The cost difference at $3 would be $655 per ticket. Those dates are going to be in the $10000 range for first class and $3000 for business class. They won’t blink about using SAF they need special fuel anyways for the heat and altitude points. Plus synthetic fuels are upwards of 20% denser meaning more range out of the same sized tanks.
