AVIATION PING!....................
NY to London. Quickness between two Islamic cities.
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....
Question is, who in their right mind is in a hurry to get to England? 😆
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.
“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.”

(tip of the hat to New Concord, Ohio! No airplane will ever replace you!)
Now that's progress. I don't get why the plane sonic boom over an ocean even matters?
“Since 1973, this ban has ensured that American skies remained free of sonic booms.”
If the writer of this story didn’t HATE THE MILITARY* so much, he’d know that anyone who lives near an Air Force base would disagree with him.
*he’s a journalist, therefore he required to hate the military (except when used to kill Serbs or Ruzzians).
Somehow, I don’t see it happening. There may not be enough people willing to pay the price to get there a few hours faster.
I’ve heard PDJT gushing about the Concorde, so this doesn’t surprise me at all.
2026 is only 6 months away. Frankly, I don’t believe this story. Sounds like BS to me.
This article is absolute nonsense.
There is no way on God’s green Earth that a new composite version of the Concorde can be designed, built, and certified for passenger operations by December 31, 2026.
2036, maybe, but not any of the 2020s.
The ticket price used to be $1500. I wonder what it will be now?
On that train, all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well, by ‘76 we’ll be A-OK

Anybody want to bet this isn’t gonna happen by 2026? 10 years at least. Most likely never.
