                                Flying. Concorde`s story.

Concord, the world's fastest and most graceful passenger plane will soon be 25 years old. It first flew on 2 5 March 1969, from Toulouse in France. Concorde was developed by both France and Britain. From 1956these two countries had a dream of a supersonic passenger In 1962 they plane. started to work together on the project. The plane cost over 1.5 billion to develop. It is the most tested plane in the history of aviation. It was given over 5000 hours of testing.

Concorde flies at twice the speed of sound. This means that it takes only 3 hours 25 minute to fly between London and New York, compared with 7-8 hours in other passenger jets. Because of the five-hour time difference between the USA possible and Britain, it is to travel west on Concorde and arrive in New York before you leave London! You can catch the 10.30am flight from London, Heathrow and start work in New York an hour earlier Concorde is much used by business people and film stars But its oldest passenger was Mrs Ethel Lee from Leicestershire in England.

She was 99 years old when she took 40 off from Heathrow on 24 February 1985. Each Concorde is built a at cost of 55 million. Twenty have been built so far. Air France and British Airways own the most. They each have seven planes.

                     Flying- then and now.

The airports themselves are remarkable places Paris’s strange and space-like Chares de Gaulle, or Dallas Fort Worth with its Texan vastness. There are airports which are almost jammed with the number of arrivals and departures, like Chicago's O'Hare or Tokyo's Haneda and there are deserted airports like Tanzania's Kilimanjaro. lying beneath the snows of that great mountain. waiting for the tourists who have never arrived.

But probably one of the greatest of thermal is London's Heathrow, which tops the list of both international tights and international passengers. In 1989 it handled 355,000 flights and over 35 million passengers with 57 million items of luggage, it has into a city in its own right employing 53,000 people full time. The first runway was build on the flat land near the village of Staines in 1944. lt was a place of historic interest. Heathrow has been operating as an international airport since 1 January 1946.

I love to fly.  I'm still afraid of heights but  I try to fly as often as I can. and I hope in the future I will be able to fly more often.

I like the airport in my country, such as Sheremetyevo, but I do not think that this is one of the best airports in the world. I would like to fly to Heathrow airport, it can be interesting to visit  such a famous place.

I like everything that is connected to the airport and planes. My favorite airport Incheon in Seoul. I read a lot about it and saw on a photo, and I hope I will be soon there, and I want to select a company Korean Air for the flight. In Russia there is big and very famous an airline, such as Aeroflot, it was formed not so long ago in 2008 but today she is very largest and popular.
