It occured to me today that there are 2 things that I really ought to have done when I had a chance.
1: Lunch at the top of the World Trade Centre
2: Take Concorde to NYC
Proof positive that sometimes you should just blow the expense and do it anyway. It doesn't look like there's much prospect of anything along the lines of concorde going into production for a very long time. The avionics industry is going backwards for the first time ever.
It's sad to see the end of the irrationally exuberant and optimistic era of our history when we'd build passenger planes that flew at twice the speed of sound, buildings that reached the clouds and lunar craft that touched down on the dark side of the moon. When did we stop striving?
