Yes the Concorde Jet:
"It's a sad day in many ways," British Airways CEO Rod Eddington told British Broadcasting Corp. radio. "Concorde changed the nature of commercial aviation. It revolutionized the way people travelled around the world."
While the Concorde could complete a trans-Atlantic crossing between New York City and Europe in less than four hours, customers apparently have been less willing to cough up $9,300 US for a round-trip ticket on the jet.
