EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from FlightGlobal, we are transported back to the iconic Paris Airshow of 1973. The image showcases the majestic Tupolev TU144, a Soviet supersonic airliner that was poised to rival its Western counterpart, the Concorde. With its sleek design and powerful engines, the TU144 exudes an air of confidence as it soars through the skies above Le Bourget Airport. Little did anyone know at that moment that tragedy would strike later on. This particular aircraft met a devastating fate when it crashed during a subsequent flight. The crash not only claimed lives but also left an indelible mark on aviation history. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both triumph and tragedy in the world of aviation. It captures a fleeting moment frozen in time – one where dreams soared high but were ultimately shattered by unforeseen circumstances. FlightGlobal's exclusive print offers us a glimpse into this significant event while paying homage to those affected by this unfortunate incident. As we admire this remarkable piece of history, let us remember the importance of safety and continuous improvement within the aviation industry
