Excuse me? Concorde was a passenger aircraft. Completely different to the X1. And no aircraft before, or since, has had the finesse or prestige of Concorde.

It was a joke! Sheesh. General Yeager is more then entitled to poke humor at things. I'm sure the Concorde pilots got a chuckle out of his comments.

Yes, they asked me to fly it when I got on the commercial flight ages ago.

Out of curiosity, did you end up flying Concorde on that flight?
