This brings a tear to my nostalgic nationalist eye.

  1. Say what you want but the Concorde was one sexy motherfucker of plane

  2. *insert meme of the Homelander saying it was perfect*

  3. It is always so nice of the French to display our flag with fly-overs. Americans do the same.

  4. When 🇬🇧🇫🇷work together vs when 🇩🇪🇫🇷work together

  5. Back when France was ruled by small overly ambitious men that actually achieved something.

  6. > Reflecting the treaty between the British and French governments that led to Concorde’s construction, the name Concorde is from the French word concorde, which has an English equivalent, concord. Both words mean agreement, harmony, or union. The name was changed to Concord by Harold Macmillan in response to a perceived slight by de Gaulle. At the French roll-out in Toulouse in late 1967, the British Minister of Technology, Tony Benn, announced that he would change the spelling back to Concorde. This created a nationalist uproar that died down when Benn stated that the suffixed “e” represented “Excellence, England, Europe, and Entente (Cordiale)”.

    lol

  7. I love you Pierre. We should hang out and build things more often.

  8. Ah to be back to the good old days when our pilots were trained well enough that they would not mix up smoke colors… 🫡

    The audio is definitely there but for some reason I find I have to refresh Imgur to see the audio on/off toggle.

  10. Pierre, let’s build an aeroplane together again 👉🫦👈

  11. When Barry and Pierre work together.

    Let’s build some more planes Pierre

  12. I went to see one of the few remaining concorde planes in filton, really is a beautiful piece of engineering

  13. Is continental airlines in the room with us right now?

  14. My parents took me to the plane spotted area at Heathrow in the morning of the last commercial Concorde flight to NYC and then again returning for the last time, I know the feeling, Pierre

  15. I saw the Patrouille de France flying last Saturday in an airshow. Impressive Pierre, congratulations.

    /claps in honhonhon

  16. I still don’t get they had to abandon the whole Concorde fleet after one crash while Boeing is still going on and on and on…

  17. “And you, like Concorde
    I came, a gentle hill racer
    I was breathless upon every mountain
    Just to look for your light” ~ Pierre
