When I was staying in South Ealing, W5 4RD, London back in 2001-2003, I used to see the concorde at a reasonable eye view soaring across the sky from the comfort of my own bedroom...and then in June 2002, during the Queen's jubilee, again the concorde flew across the sky marking the pride of britain in aviation technology. Now, it's no longer in service ever since that doomed crash in France ( near paris, click here for the news back in january 2003.
Nevertheless, it was hailed as the top british design of the 20th century ( click here). Although it now becomes a museum property, Concorde never cease to impress me. Those deep droning sounds, big delta wings...alas, i never had the chance to ride in it. Probably by the time another supersonic aeroplane is created, it'll be made affordable to the public unlike the very costly concorde flight ticket.
Speaking of fast planes, one would only dream of taking one "joyride" in some superfast, mach 5 and over speed jet fighters like stealth bomber. And unfortunately, it is yet a dream come true for me.
