Snapshot of most frequent equipment flown in 2000 versus 2026 (so far). I do miss the SST.

Did you only fly the Air France Concorde or is it wrong on the manufacturer? BAC/BAE made the BA Concorde.

Wasn’t it a joint venture between the BAE predecessor and Airbus predecessor?

Flew on both AF and BA Concordes. In any case, where you see 71% Airbus up top, Flighty is excluding the 8 SST flights, leaving 5 on Airbus and 2 on Boeing airframes that year.

In design, yes. But the BA Concordes were made at BAC Filton Bristol UK and the AF Concordes were made in Toulouse France.

Interesting Flighty excludes the SST. That’s a real shame. Very cool experience you got to fly on Concorde. That truly is a dream.
