I've given up on all of them and practice what I call "The Flight Free Lifestyle," which I recommend to all. Cruising our country's highways in my Lincoln Towncar, I see beautiful scenery, meet interesting people, stay healthy and, above all, avoid the feeling of being a sardine in a beercan being flung through the sky. Like so much else which has been lost, the glamour of air travel vanished in the late '60's or early '70's. I pity everyone whose business makes it necessary that they fly and, as Dave Barry says, spend their time wondering if the woman in the seat next to them has more tattoos or children. The day they retired the last Superconnie was the death knell of elegant publicly available transportation.

You are referring to the Concorde here? Ah yes. A great loss indeed.

You know the FR rules. If you mention the Superconnie, you must post a picture. We'll let it slide this time.
