CCCP-77102 / 451 (cn 01-2) Not great quality, but evocative, taken the day before its fatal crash. Concorde cruises up and away, leaving Charger to its fate.

In the 70's probably one would think that by 2011 all would fly in SSTs...

A visitor from United States posted Sat September 3, 2011:
Very sad to look at our dreams of the 70's, knowing the way they turned out. Great dreams though!

Very funny

A visitor from - posted Mon October 5, 2009:
Classic shot! Here you can see the similarities between the flying Concord and the TU-144 on the ground. No one could imagine the fatal fate of the Russian SST.

A visitor from United States posted Fri June 12, 2009:
The 2 great SSTs in a single shot. Classic!

Beautiful and magnificent! Well caught and well done! Pure Brilliance

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon February 9, 2009:
I was there on the day of the crash, almost at the far end of the spectator area near Goussinville, My friend was putting his camera away as the front airfoil fell off under the stress, I remember it as I was watching it through binoculars. Its good to see it before that sad day. the juxtapose with concorde is very well shown. thanks for a great picture
