I poked my head out of the window and it's the Concorde, on its final approach into Charles de Gaulle, doing a special lap right over the city, very low over the rooftops. Special permission for a special airplane, for one last time.The Air France Concorde fleet is grounded as of today. This flight from New York to Paris was the last. British Airways will continue flying its fleet until October. The planes will go to museums./manu A BBC story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/2952594.stm
