The Concorde Is Back

(New York, NY) — It’s a homecoming for the Concorde. After undergoing a six-month restoration, the supersonic jet is back at New York City’s Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, a place it called home for more than 20 years. The aviation icon used to carry passengers from New York to London at supersonic speed in a little less than three and a half hours, as opposed to about eight hours for a regular flight. Tickets to fly on the French-made aircraft cost about 10-grand back in the 1990’s. In 2000, a Concorde passenger jet on an international flight from Paris to New York, crashed shortly after takeoff, killing all 109 onboard. The Concorde aircraft were retired in 2003.
