I am here to promote the new Concorde service. Air France has already purchased four of these planes and has just established service between Paris and Rio, Caracas and Washington, D.C. This is the greatest and the most beautiful aircraft ever built. It can travel at Mach 2 and it will change the way we think about flying forever. I am proud to represent the future., from the "Working" series
