April Fools’ Prank in the Sky Concorde is Flying! 😅

FlightRadar24 didn’t skip April Fools’ Day this year and brought a smile to aviation enthusiasts with a clever trick.

The legendary Concorde appeared on the radar app with the registration F-BTSD, seemingly flying the Paris–New York route.

Users checking the app were briefly thrilled, thinking the iconic supersonic jet had returned to the skies. The aircraft quickly became the most tracked plane in the world on FlightRadar.

ℹ️ The Concorde was an iconic supersonic passenger aircraft developed jointly by the British Aircraft Corporation and France’s Aérospatiale. It began commercial flights in 1976 and was retired in 2003. Capable of reaching Mach 2 (about 2,180 km/h), the Concorde could fly at an altitude of 60,000 feet and complete the Paris–New York route in approximately 3.5 hours.

Although it was a technological marvel of its time, its high fuel consumption and operational costs meant it was produced in limited numbers. Even today, it remains one of the most striking designs in aviation history.
