#Onthisday in 2003, the last scheduled eastbound Concorde flight took off from New York bound for London. British Airways announced in April 2003 that they would be retiring their Concordes. The Concorde could reach supersonic speeds of up to Mach II and could travel from New York to London in under 4 hours. Tickets cost up to $9,000 round trip. Did you ever fly on a Concorde?
