RE: Would you…….?

The FAA are a strange bunch at times. When the DC-10 was having problems in the seventies, it was grounded until the problems were sorted out.

Yet, there have been over 90 total hull losses in the world 737 fleet and at least three fatal accidents involving these aircraft have not been fully explained. But, the 737 continues to fly with an astonishing mute response from industry insiders into why there are still unexplained accidents.

Whilst I want to see Concorde in service right now, I think it was wise to ground the fleet until the cause of the Paris crash was solved. We are talking about people’s lives here, and just one person, yet alone 100, is worth far more than an airliner.

RE: Would you…….?

I would like to speculate how things would have turned out if Concorde had been a US built aircraft. Would it have been grounded by the FAA? I doubt it very much……..

RE: Would you…….?

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH KELTIC…..forget about a can of beer they all deserve a barel of beer. Concorde is the most elegent and graceful looking bird in the skies today and we must put up a fight agains the people who want it shut down…and i can tell you you will see it soo…..very soon.

RE: Would you…….?

I would fly on Concorde tomorrow if it came back into service. The aircraft is fantastic, and despite its age, it is perhaps the most advanced looking jet flying.

We should all support the Concorde when it comes back into service, it is a marvel of engineering and if I ever met the design team I would buy them all a beer!

Let Concorde prove the scaremongers wrong, I can’t wait for her to grace the skys again.

RE: Would you…….?

I agree….even the next flight of concorde…i would have flew it. I dont know why people think that Concord is unsafe know. They think its a jinx or something. In my openion a plane never gets old. It depends on the mentainence of the aircraft. Concord is as safe and good as any aircraft in the world.

RE: Would you…….?

No.

RE: Would you…….?

Hell, I’d have travelled on it two days after the crash if I’d have been given a ticket. I actually flew into LHR the day after the crash, and saw 1 or 2 concordes over by the hangars. Looking at them, I knew instictively it hadn’t been a fault originating onboard.

RE: Would you…….?

I must agree there, it’s the first Concorde accident since it came about in 1969 (correct me if I’m wrong) that’s 32 years. I would love to fly on it one day, few years of savings though!

Yeah, you’d have to beat me of with a s####y stick mate! There’s nothing wrong with Concorde as far as I’m concerned and to fly on such a fantastic piece of engineering would be an absolute priviledge.

How about that?
