A simple paint livery for the movie role,but a varied and tragic real life ending. Aircraft History From :Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Concorde aircraft used in the film first flew on January 31, 1975, and was registered as F-WTSC to the Aérospatiale aircraft company. It would be re-registered by Aérospatiale as F-BTSC and leased to Air France in 1976. In 1989, this Concorde carried Pope John Paul II.On July 25, 2000, F-BTSC would crash as Air France Flight 4590 in the small French town of Gonesse, killing all 109 passengers and crew on board, as well as four on the ground. At the time of the accident, F-BTSC had logged 11989 hours and 4873 cycles. www.concordesst.com/pictures/fbtsc_movie4.jpgwww.concordesst.com/accident/203a.htmlTheGetter!  |

It "IS" on my own list .... BUT .... despite the fact it"IS" a realworld subject, in that it did actually exist for a time, as a prop for the AIRPORT 79 movie .... it's still not a maintream airline livery, so, it's not one that'll be happening soon.
There's about 4 other realworld variations of CONCORDE liveries .... that I can think of .... and that are suitable for the FSFT PM2 model we host here, but, they also will happen "another day".

I don't fly Concordes much in sim (might get back into it now that I'm flying for CBFSim VA again) but it would be a paint I'd like to see eventually as well.
One little request for the Original Poster though - can you please edit your topic to just be "Concorde - Airport 1979" ? There is no "the" in front of the name as it's a proper name, not a "type" in your usage. It's a minor thing, but it's something that has been a long tradition with Concorde, especially those who operated her.

What Garry's correctly trying to explain is .... The movie was entitled "THE CONCORDE - AIRPORT 79" .... and which is, probably, why the original poster of this request (possibly through foreign language grammar) refers to the aircraft as "THE CONCORDE" rather than just "CONCORDE" .... the latter form, as both Chris and Garry both point out, being the correct form.  It's a very minor detail .... really .... but .... just one of those sill oddities/pecularities associated with English language grammar which can, and does, occasionally trip up those who's first language isn't English .... "CONCORD" or "the CONCORDE" .... in English and depending on the context of its being referred to ! "LE CONCORDE" .... in French .... and pretty much always I think ! "EL CONCORDE" .... in Spanish/Espanol .... and again pretty much always too I think and regardless of the context of its referrence ! And just to take all of this sillyness/confusionm to another level ....   The English and FRench both argued among themselves, quite vociferously at some stages, and for a very long time in regard to the actual spelling of the name CONCORDE .... which of course means "Agreement". In French .... the correct spelling ..... and the form that that was eventually accepted for the aircraft name aircraft is "CONCORDE" .... whearas in English it's "CONCORD" .... without an "E" suffix ;D Mark C AKL/NZ |

I remember the arguement over the "e" very well and wondered howthey couldn't even agree on how to spell it.
There were even articles had mentions how much progress the French were making with Concorde and a few lines later the British Concord.
At the end of the day Concorde is pronouncable and acceptable in English but Concord is not in French.
