N432XS- BAC Concorde "Spirit of Fort Worth"
On October 9, 1983 AirTexas received an aircraft ahead of its time. The Concorde. N432XS "Spirit of Fort Worth", was painted in the 1983
style of paint that existed then. Written on the side in beautiful suave were the letters of Concorde. This aircraft was based in Dallas
at the DFW airport. With a supersonic speed of 1354 MPH, this particular aircraft took passengers on the trip of their lives to exotic
destinations in Europe such as Madrid, Barcelona, and Palma in under 3.5 hrs. This aircraft was also chartered to the government and
private individuals during the off season. The fleet of 10 Luxurious Concordes have 20 Business and 126 Economy seats. The DFW-PMI

operator of Concorde.

    You should keep the fues white

    Yup. If you want a 3.5 hr TATL flight, you have to paint the fuselage white. While there are Concordes out there that are dark blue, they can't go as fast.
