Photos: First Concorde to land in the US now being restored by Delta Museum

Wow! Check out the amazing pictures inside the first ever supersonic plane 'Concorde' to land on American soil, which eventually paved way for super-speed crossing of the Atlantic.

The plane that ferried the super rich and famous which includes Sean Connery, Robert Redford, the Bee gees, Phil Collins, Mick Jagger, World leaders like France's Jacques Chirac as well as former British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and John Major, is on the tarmac at Orly outside Paris and the Delta Museum is restoring it with the help of British donors, and making sure every tiny detail on the 102-F-WTSA is as it was in its prime.


The first one was decommissioned in 1975 and the last one in 2003, after the Concorde recorded her first ever crash on July 25 2000, when the plane bursted into flames as it took off from Paris, later crashing and killing all 190 passengers.

Though the Concorde will never fly again but the supersonic plane is being restored so you can have a view of what it's like to be inside one. See more photos below:
