was google-earthing when i decided to find the concorde which i saw when we were on the way to paris cdg airport. although i couldn't find it, i found these planes at the le bourget air museum!!


i have no idea what the planes are. blame me not researching on old planes. but i think the big plane with 2 engines at the rear fuselage is a md90 or md80. or some plane whose name sounds like gibberish.

suddenly i had a brainwave. quickly, i typed 'toulouse blagnac' and i was directed to the airport. looking around, i saw this huge plane and it was no doubt the airbus a380!! there were 2 of them!



look closely and you can see 'a380 airbus' at the side of the plane.

and for the first time ever, i could compare a330-200 with a330-300 side by side! there were 2 qatar a330s parked next to each other and their sizes were different. and there was the a300 beluga nearby!

but what was even better was that i saw the concorde!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the most beautiful plane ever! yes, it's even more beautiful than the a380!


i really really can't understand why they want to retire it :( now i'm never gonna fly on it... i tell ya, this plane can fly at mach 2 (that's twice the speed of sound). and flying at this speed means you can watch the sunset before departure and catch up with the sun, arriving in daylight. amazing. and flying at supersonic means the view out of the window is breathtaking. a quick search on google yielded this picture:


you'll never see this from any other plane......

here's the concorde in its full glory:


one day i will go to toulouse blagnac and see the concorde with my own eyes.
