Concorde: RIP. 100 years after the first heavier than air, powered manned flight, we get this
progress. Pilot Dennis Toeppen says it best
"I feel like we are kind of taking a step backward technologically today."
For the first half of the 20th century, it was "faster and bigger" in all of aviation. But when the average Cletus didn't want to pay to go supersonic, it made air travel look like getting on a bus. Which is what it is now. Although I could probably never afford it, I'm going to miss it.
