| In October 1974, the supersonic transport Concorde landed at Gander after the first in a series of transatlantic test flights, two years before inauguration of scheduled commercial service. Gander International Airport was one of the first in the world where the arrival of the then new Concorde was a routine flight. The world bid the Concorde farewell when it retired in late 2003. This painting is on public display at the Gander International airport in Gander, Newfoundland. |
