The Concorde First Flew 36 Years Ago

Originally uploaded by ReidAnderes. 1969: Concorde flies for the first time The supersonic airliner, Concorde, has made a "faultless" maiden flight. The Anglo-French plane took off from Toulouse and was in the air for just 27 minutes before the pilot made the decision to land. So, why today... do we still not have supersonic flight on a regular affordable basis??
