well this plane keeps on setting records beyond its retirement:)
She set a new, New York to Seattle time record completing the journey in 3 hours 55 minutes. The Canadian air authority(whatever their proper name is) created a route that allowed concorde to fly supersonic for most of its flight to seattle cutting down the trip time by almost half.

It a shame some other national aviation authorities didn't do that 30 years ago...

It's great to hear the old girl still has alot of life left in her.  I hope someday they all have a similar chance.
