Concord's roaring overhead. Miss those planes.
It’s an experience everyone should have I did NYC to London and flew back from Paris on Air France. I really hope they make a comeback.
Unlikely, the fuel consumption rates were a main reason for the end of the plane.
Given that consumers are more environmentally conscious now, were unlikely so send a Concord when we could send four to five 747s instead.

This is a good analysis of concords failure and what may come in supersonic flight soon.
