Today marks the 50th birthday of Concorde, it served a 35 years (27 with British Airways), and has surely secured a place in everyone’s heart here, nothing in world aviation has rivaled her since.
Happy birthday Concorde!

The Concorde was my first Revell Model [build]
It’s design and pure marvel definitely has a home in my heart!
The Concorde is a beautiful aircraft, too bad it all came crashing down due to a piece of metal.

Lol no, when it came crashing down, it ended up as less than a piece of metal.

Wait, if it’s 50years old and it ceased operations in 2003, wouldn’t it have served 35 years of service?
Well, I was following British Airways, it served 27 years with them
What I meant was that 2018-2003 = 15
And then 50-15 = 35
But do you mean from when it was built, or when AF/BA started using them?
