...possibly the least controversial statement ever made on JC.

Thank you, Obama. GUNZZ!

If Obama and Chuck Norris were flying the concorde it wouldn't have crashed.

 

[FlyDutchman]

Chuck Norris doesn't takeoff, he pushes the earth away and it descends beneath him...

Tacos are delicious. THAT is the least controversial statement EVAR!

Exactly, because Obama would have been round house kicked in the face and the Concorde would stay aloft by the power of the beard alone.

This thread is worthless without pics! I think I'm nursing a half chub

When I was a kid and my parents sent me to the UK for my annual cultural enrichment, I was fortunate enough to live next to a BA pilot. His best friend ran the hangar that the Concordes were maintained etc. On more than one occasion he would take me to work and I was able to run around the Concordes for hours. One of my fondest memories.

I just watched an awesome documentary on Netflix about it. Seriously an awesome machine. I remember growing up near Dulles when it used to fly there and you always knew it was the Concorde coming in or taking off. Man, that thing was loud. I feel lucky, I got to see it often.

 

[ZapBrannigan]

What was the name of the documentary.

 

[fholbert]

The Concord was so, so. Now this was cool a decade earlier!

 

[Boris Badenov]

I almost mentioned the Valkyrie as a similarly non-disputatious awesome machine. Faster, earlier, even more cutting edge. But not as pretty, and it's nice to see the plucky Brits get a civil airliner right for once. Well, sort of.

If anyone's bored, go watch "Falkland's Most Daring Raid" on youtube. These guys are so much cooler than I'll ever even hope to be. Very much worth you time to watch.

 

[Boris Badenov]

Oh, the Brits have made some kickass military aircraft. The V-bombers (featured, I think, in your video, which I will be watching shortly), the Lightning...hell I believe we gave up and bought a bunch of their Canberras because we couldn't do better. Plus, they pretty much invented the jet engine. But they do seem to have a problem converting in the Civil market...

What was the name of the documentary.

+1. I'm curious too.

[Boris Badenov]

Probably would have worked better, but that thing is UGLY.

The video is centered around Vulcans, as well as a lot of cool Victor scenes, I guarantee you'll enjoy it.

Watching now! I was just impressed until they refueled in a thunderstorm. Then I was floored.
