I dont have a VP but can imagine the problem, would be nice if it saved all this info.

True, but what ticks me off is the fact that it goes flat even when you don't use it and didn't put it back on its craddle.... Even if only for a few days.

Concordes weren't scrapped, only withdrawn from commerical flight. Currently parked up in museums around the world.

No, I am not a pilot. Sadly.

Which still means I will never get the opportuity to fly in one to New York.... always one of my lifelong dreams. So for me they are scrapped.

I had the pleasure of being at Mildenhall Airshow in 1987, and saw possibly one of the best flying displays of all time -SR-71etc, but my highlight was a near sub-sonic flypast of Concorde.

I had dreams of going on Concorde to Japan
How dare they dismiss good French planes!

I think it's a step backwards in technology that is. But it was a money decision, people want cheap filghts, not quality.

Roll on the supersonic jumbo!!!
