Boeing was working on a supersonic airliner a few years back, I dont know if it has stopped or what but they broke the wall down that prevented aircraft from going supersonic over land. It is a new nose cone and leading edge of the flight surfaces that they redisgned. So hopefully you will see another first from Boeing sometime soon. In time.

Your point is well taken. A lot of people pleaded but in vain for British Airways to keep at least one Concorde in flying condition for use on special occasions like flyovers on state occasions and so forth if for nothing else to preserve flyable patriotic symbol for The United Kingdom. The plane might in theory be able to be used in just such an emergency as you described. Although it's use at a moments noticed might have required more maintenance then one only used on special occasions. It would be nice to be able to see one fly from time to time. When the first Concorde took flight. The chase plane looked up at it in flight and overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of the aircraft sent this first message: . ........"you cannot possibly imagine how beautiful you are" . .

NASA has 2 that are still operational. They fly at about Mach 3.2. Meaning WAY faster than the concorde. But your senario aint gonna happen anytime soon......... EDIT: NASA still has 2 in perfect flying order. Well in that case they would fly on the SR-71. NASA has 2 that are still operational. They fly at about Mach 3.2.
