I met what I could only describe as a bit of a drunken derelict in a pub in Dingle, Ireland. His back story was that he'd had some tragedy in his life but he claimed to have been the navigator on the original Concorde test flights alongside Brian Trubshaw. He showed me some kind of id that seemed to verify his story.

I met this drunken old derelict in a pub in Dingle once. The usual sort of thing, he sat down uninvited on my table and proceeded to jibber drunkenly away. Just at the point that I was going to finish my drink and go, he mentioned the name Brian Trubshaw - the test plot for Concord(e). This got my attention and I started listening to what he was saying & it turned out that he was the navigator on those test flights. He showed me an old ID card he had in his wallet & his story seemed to stack up so I believed him.

How exciting.

I remember the Concorde prototype flying over Bath back in the day. Everyone would go out into their gardens and look up at it.

Some years later, I met what I could only describe as a bit of a drunken derelict in a pub in Dingle, Ireland. His back story was that he'd had some tragedy in his life but he claimed to have been the navigator on the original Concorde test flights alongside Brian Trubshaw. He showed me some kind of id that seemed to verify his story.

Anyway, I had no reason to doubt him and bought him a pint,

Yeah just few months ago some Us startup had big plans for supersonic flight, Boeing as customer and now they folded.

A lot can happen till 2029

I bet the environmentalists are having kittens over this.

I agree, Boom is a bad name. I guess Zoom was already taken

The CEO Blake Scholl wants to achieve the goal of being able to get to anywhere on the planet in 4 hours for $100 !!!!

Imagine in the 2030's you could fly London to New York supersonic cheaper than the HS2 London to Birmingham.

Never liked the name "Boom" for an aircraft company. Think boom is one of the not to use words or phases on aircraft.
