Easily one of the most impressive pictures I've seen.

Another angle.

I so much want to see some hi-rez versions of those... Cool

Nice pictures. Would be even more awesome to see it first hand.

Also interesting to see how much has happened within a few decades.

Not until some 30 year old billionaire builds concord 2.0 at least.

Concord was so far ahead of its time it's silly. Before they decommissioned it BA did a flight from our local airport, most impressive. I would love to see it fly again.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Best plane ever made was the XF-84 "Thunderscreech"

And how awesome was it?

Who needs fancy psy-ops speakers when you have a plane that can be heard from 20+ miles away Cool

Concorde was an impressive machine, but all in all it was a mistake. Was born out of the "faster is better" mentality that transitioned from propellers to jets and also from cheap oil, and lacking those, it was left behind the economy curve. Curently, nobody would pay for the true cost of SST (I think it's telling that military never bothered themselves with SST) and currently air transportation as a business is driven by price. Put in short, there's not enough people whose time is worth enough to pay for SST, and so it's unlikely we ever see SST again.

I've heard some Harriers hovering from quite close and they truly give a new meaning to "noise". Lol

(Anyway supersonic propeller blades may be one of the most disgustingly loud things ever crafted)

Speaking of noisy aircrafts. The Russians had a 4 engine bomber with counterrotating props. I can't remember the name of it, but the US submarine captains reported that they could hear those aircrafts with their sonar.

And that's why we love the Russians. Their engineers are for engineering what CCP is for game design.

No, in WW2 they actually put wings on a tank... http://www.strangemilitary.com/images/content/116898.jpg
