Concorde 215, Supersonic aircraft display at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, France
Concorde 215, registered as F-BVFF, is a supersonic aircraft from the 1960s displayed near Terminal 1 of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. The plane is partially incomplete and displays the large silver body of a machine originally designed for rapid transatlantic flights.
This aircraft was the last machine delivered to Air France in 1980, completing the fleets of both nations. Following an accident in 2000, it was taken for maintenance but never returned to service and was eventually placed at the airport.
The aircraft represents a shared achievement between France and Britain in aviation. It shows how two nations worked together to create something extraordinary for air travelers.
The aircraft is located near Terminal 1 and the Charles de Gaulle RER station, making it accessible from the train station. Visitors can view the exterior from designated areas and should be aware of weather conditions and airport safety rules.
This specific aircraft completed its final charter flight to Paris-Charles de Gaulle on June 11, 2000, just as the supersonic flight program wound down. It was among the last commercial flights of this extraordinary machine before operations ceased worldwide.
