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.
I doubt that very much. It expensive as hell to keep aircraft in mothballs. Who’s paying all these years for that? And those are 50 year old airframes not modern composites. And the idea that they could build a new aircraft, flight test it, and go through all the required approvals in what… 18 months? Someone’s playing games here. Watch your wallet.
BTW. Ever heard a sonic boom? It’s a thunder clap right next to your head. You really don’t want them flying supersonic over your house, unless you own a window replacement company. ;~))
