Great article about the Concordski aka TU-144

here is a great article of the Russian answer in the 1960s to the Concorde development in Western Europe a few decades ago. The TU-144 only made a few flights before scrapping the program. The air show accident in Paris gave it its death blow. It is rumored that risky flight maneuvers lead to the deadly crash at the show. However, I would still love to see one of the TU-144 displayed for the public.

Boeing may end its 747 production - oh no

As the iconic 747 has been in service for over 40 years, Boeing is considering to end its production. Though the Airbus 380 holds higher passenger capacity, the 747 is still the grand daddy of all. It's design is iconic and the 380 is by far not as appealing as its Boeing nemesis. You be the judge: (recent shots from LAX - LH B747 bound to Frankfurt and BA A380 coming from LHR) http://www.wsj.com/articles/boeing-swings-to-loss-but-results-still-top-views-1469622337
