For years, Congressman Anthony Weiner spoke-out against the Concorde. He tried to get legislation to ban the Concorde from entering US airspace. It worked for a while, as Concorde was banned by the Port Authority. Luckily, it was over-turned in court and the Concorde successfully came to JFK from late 1977 through 2003. Weiner continued his anti-Concorde speeches. He had the nerve to even host a champagne party to toast the final Concorde departure out of JFK. I knew he had mental problems. It turned-out the Concorde did not cause climate change and the sky did not fall. The last straw was when he humiliated me publicly for wearing a NY Yankees jacket (He's a huge Mets fan). Now, we see his true self and his political career days are numbered. Always remember that this guy is no friend to aviation. He saw no beauty in the Concorde; something I cannot fathom. He considered it just a noisy monstrosity. Shame on him.
