The Yanks will argue that whoever holds the record is the thing that matters, but with SSC being the first to break the sound barrier on land, anything else is just numbers.

The Yanks can go as fast as they like, but they’ll still have to pass the Union Jack to get there…

🙂 WELL SAID:D

Mine are the good weather at all airshows i attended,me buying a decent digital camera,seeing Brietling fighters display 4 times,getting Engaged(mind you we since split so thats not so good eh)and last but not least Englands Rugby team winning world cup one of the greatest things i have known in sport.

Moggy is right

Legends on the saturday never felt so low at a airshow since Biggin in 2001,concordes retirement comes second for me,hope next year is a better one.

I think Duxfordhawk has a point. Any record attempt is designed to beat previous records and surely nobody’s going to say that Art Arfons, or whoever it was trying at the same time, was delighted that THRUST SSC got there first.

I hope they’ve done as much research as Richard Noble and his team.
When designing Thrust SSC, they discovered that if Richard Noble had gone just a few mph faster in Thrust 2, he/it would have taken off.
Apparently Thrust SSC was capable of going a little faster but they decided any record could be beaten but nobody else could be the first to go supersonic. They beat a dignified retreat while everybody was in one piece.

Richard Noble and his team did so many tests before even attempting the record if this team is doing the same good luck to them,After all the history books will never say who went supersonic second will they?,I also can’t see a ejector seat being any good at this level at speeds we are talking about i would have thought if the nose lifted off the ground it would flip therefore ejection impossible?
