Re:30 years young (Score 1)

I remember when I was a kid, the USAF flew the SR-71 Blackbird over to the Farnborough Airshow for the first time. In doing so, it broke the record for a transatlantic crossing, previously held by Concorde. Although the USAF were jubilant, I still remember the the put-down when someone pointed out that the the SR-71 pilots were wearing spacesuits, wheras the Concorde passengers were wearing dinner jackets and sipping champagne.
