In the tradition of WWI, WWII, Vietnam, mid-east oil drilling, and
"fraternite/," the US bailed the French out of yet another blunder.
;-) Having three proposed US designs from manufacturers, 2 of which
were better than Concorde, the US congress canceled all SST projects
but the French built their own (financially doomed) system anyway.  ;-)
Concorde is too noisy to take off out of JFK, *but* if you turn very
sharply after takeoff, you can avoid the noise-detector, and pump all
the noise into Brooklyn!!  Guess what happens each time Concorde takes
off?  Vive la France! :-) [tounge out of cheek]

I'm just jealous cuz I can't afford a ticket in that gorgous mach 2.2
bird.  A parisian can work til noon, hop a concorde and arrive 3 hours
before he left, work 9-5 in NY, then fly back home.

Is Concorde gonna fly non-stop Paris -> Vancouver again?  What about
Vancouver -> Tokyo?  Seems to me the longer routes would be more 
worthwhile.
