Hello All!
I dont know why it never hit me before but today I heard Boston Air Center(BAC) talking to an aircraft calling them "speedbird 178 " and I started to think. Wasnt that the assigned name for the Concorde? Who then uses that name now and why? I thought the name said it all,speedbird. I dont know of any other commercial aircraft that flies that fast. Is it just a name thing now? It did sound like a Brittish accent on the pilots voice. Maybe the company just kept on using the name. I would appreciate some light on this guys if you could. I was always a fan of the Concorde.
