Concorde had it's final commercial flight today.

For the last 27 years, I've watched her take off and land. Every time that
I have seen her, I have been impressed by her beauty. There is no other
aircraft that looks so perfect in the air. There is no other aircraft that
conjures up the same sense of pure awe.

Oh I think an SR-71 taking of at dawn with full afterburner is way more
impressive.
