The Concorde was one of just two supersonic passenger planes to provide commercial service.  They were first flown in 1969 and were in active service starting in 1976.  The Concorde set many records in its 27 years of use, including a trip from London to Sydney in just 17 hours and three minutes, and reaching Mach 2 in 1970.  The Concorde was also the first commercial aircraft to make four Atlantic crossings in one day, flying twice from London to Gander, Newfoundland.  It was truly a revolutionary part of flight history.
