B52STRATO Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) 39 years ago the Tupolev Tu-144S reg. CCCP-77102 crashed at Goussainville near Paris, during an airshow flight from Le Bourget. So I wish to share with you these pictures taken by my father at the time. They were taken with an old negative camera, so the quality is... digestible. Tu-144S Last turn... Concorde before his rival demonstration The Dassault Mirage G8, a beautiful aircraft who was sacrificed for the benefit of the future 2000. The USAF sent five "Phantom II" to the airshow, still wearing their S.E.A theme. The Red Arrows Folland Gnat, perfect as usual. Edited June 3, 2012 by B52STRATO 1 Quote

B52STRATO Posted June 3, 2012 Author Posted June 3, 2012 As they seem to please you, here are some others. Fokker F-28 Dassault Mercure prototype Airbus A300, the prototype too Quote
+JediMaster Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Too bad about the G8. I always thought the 2000 lacked imagination. Quote
B52STRATO Posted June 4, 2012 Author Posted June 4, 2012 It's clearly right, and this as the Mirage 4000 was sacrified for this filth that is the Rafale... Quote
