By the way, My wife and I flew on the Concorde with Air France from Paris to New York many years ago. The trip took about 2-1/2 hours; with the time zone difference, we arrived well before we left. It was a pretty fancy ride, they were pouring Dom Perignon champagne freely and serving beluga caviar and pate de foie gras before we took off. The plane was quite small, two seats on either side of a narrow aisle. They had a large speedometer on the front bulkhead that told you how fast you were going in terms of Mach. Most of the time the sky outside was not blue; it was black because we were so far above most of the earth's air. When I flew, the one way price was $4,000.00 per person. Someone else paid for it.
