Very funny

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.

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
