F-WTSS, Aerospatiale Concorde prototype, in house colours, on display outside Musée de l’air et de l’espace (Air And Space Museum) at Le Bourget, Paris, 28th October 1993.
This was taken with a 24mm lens, and I still needed to tilt the camera to get the whole thing in!

Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. I could spend all day here.

Remember the Eastern Airlines bankruptcy? Western Airlines... "the onnnly way to fly"? Southwest Airlines plastic group boarding passes? The Pan American Airlines 747 upper stairs experience?
