Many are not aware that Air France's first few Aerospatiale-BAC Concorde aircraft were delivered in the airline's pre-1976 livery. Variations of this earlier color scheme had been used for decades by the French flag carrier. It was replaced by what could legitimately be called the very first "Euro-white" look. This is the design the company still uses, in slightly modified form, today. F-BTSC is seen here in the old livery, having been photographed in early 1976 at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. Sadly is was -BTSC which became the first, and only, Concorde to be involved in a fatal crash (in the year 2000 on departure from this very airport). After a long grounding for safety modifications the Anglo-French supersonic transports were returned to service with Air France and British Airways in 2001. The type was then permanently grounded in 2003 due largely to continuing very low load factors during the worldwide air traffic downturn in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington D.C.

What a wealth of knowledge here at the NBAA IOC (International Operators Conference)! It has given me a higher appreciation of the flight crews and planners of international flights. It also makes me appreciate (again) just how good we have it here in the US as general aviation pilots. #NBAAIOC

If 21st August 1968 had not happened, ČSA would have bought Vickers VC-10. But after the ocupation Czechoslovak Airlines were forced to buy and use the russian Iljushin Il-62. Here is the comparison of both airplanes: - the Il-62 had the more powerful engines; Soloviev D-30KU turbofans produced 107.9 kN of thrust - the VC10's Rolls-Royce Conway Mk 301s turbofans had 100 kN of thrust - VC-10 was able to fly 4000 fts higher - VC-10 was the fastest jetliner before Concorde with speed 930 km/h - Il-62 is the best selling airline jet ever

More good news on the horizon!
