Indian Summer
Recognizing that I haven't been able to make frequent updates as usual the last few months, especially to the SimAirline.net Timetable, this week's Timetable update will include Concorde and Icelandair's summer routes. The Timetable will continue offering them for several additional weeks beyond their usual end date of this week.

Tu-144 Joins Concorde Virtual

The Tu-144 entered service on 26 December 1975 as a mail plane and began passenger service just under two years later. Regularly scheduled passenger service ended on 1 June 1978 following a crash one week earlier. Despite officially being withdrawn from service, it was put back into service for one or two flights a year as recently as 1987. In the mid-1990s one of the planes was refurbished as a flying laboratory for NASA and flew several flights until being grounded once again by budget considerations.
Sadly, most of the aircraft now have either been scrapped or lay derelict at various airports in western Russia. Only one is on display outside the country, at the Auto and Technik Museum in Sinsheim, Germany, where it is displayed next to an Air France Concorde.
SimAirline.net will be offering daily Aeroflot flights between Moscow Domodedovo and Alma-Ata (now Almaty, Kazakhstan), the only regularly scheduled route.

More pictures of the damage can be found here.
Update: according to The New York Times, the aircraft "was hit by a truck that was hauling equipment from a Jamaican music and soccer festival."
