So What's Up with The Concord?
I'm wondering if I'll ever get to experience this plane.
Is it done for good?
Is there a return to service date?

Nothing really new in France since news were that the Copncord will be back in Roissy.
I think they still have a problem, the explanation should be probably OK, but they need a demonstration that a further problem with a wheel will not impact the plane itself, and this may induce modifications.
is uspect that these modification will take time.
This is just my personal opinion, and I am not working in aerospace industry.

BA has spent many millions () on modernizing the interior of the Concorde during these months when it has been grounded.
