Too rich for my finances, but I could always enjoy the idea that the Concorde would be around for me to fly on it. Wikipedia has a wonderful article on the history of this great plane. One day, we're told, there'll faster planes. In the meantime, we'll be cruising below the speed of sound.
One amusing thing I found out about this plane is that in the US, briefly, it served domestic routes between Dallas and Washington for Braniff, though it was not permitted to operate above Mach 1 in the US
