The Air France Concorde on display at Paris Le Bourget Airport could be the first of the retired fleet to return to the sky. The French advocacy group Olympus593 has begun tests to determine if the pickled SST could be rendered airworthy. Cost of the project is estimated at $20 million and the group hopes to have the delta-wing airliner flying in time to open the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
