ABACE 2015 (the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition) kicks off at Shanghai’s Hongquaio Airport today.

Aw what a shame it went.  Wonder if the story would have been the same if the US had got a supersonic jet to fly commercially? Thanks to IFALPA for this one 1976 - At 11:40am, Air France Concorde F-BVFA and British Airway Concorde G-BOAA took off simultaneously inaugurating the era of commercial supersonic travel. The Air France service was Paris CDG-Rio de Janeiro via Dakar while BA’s was London Heathrow-Bahrain. BA hoped at the time that the Bahrain service would eventually be extended to Australia. There are, of course, still some brave souls keeping the faith. Aerion springs to [...]
