PNA Aérospatiale/BAC Concorde 101 N-94SC

It's 1977.

The Oil Crisis is fully over, Jimmy Carter is sworn in and the Soviet Union ratifies it's 3rd Constitution.

PNA is in talks with Aérospatiale and BAC regarding the new Concorde, inaugerated in November with British Airways.
An agreement is soon reached between Aérospatiale, BAC, Air France, British Airways and PNA regarding an intial implementation of PNA Supersonic concorde services from January 1980.
Mockups were created, crews were trained and tickets sold. Intially 2 BA Aircraft, G-BOAA and -BOAB, and two Air France Aircraft, F-BTSC and -BVFD, were allocated to PNA in a lease to purchase arrangement.
These aircraft would operate in American airspace using PNA Flight crew, an AF/BA Observer and a mixed cabin crew using modified N- Registrations.

Unfortunately, come 1980, the world had changed. The increasing threat of global terrorism and the rise in oil prices in 1979 caused PNA to back out of the Concorde deal, potentially saving the airline from assured collapse in the 1980s.

Here we see Air France's F-BTSC in the standard modified N registration of N-94SC.

Across the country and across the world, nobody is working harder then everybody at Seattle's own PNA



    So simple. So sexy. So PNA.
