   This is the only photo ever taken of Concorde flying at Mach 2 (1,350 mph / 2,172 km/h).
   
   Taken by Adrian Meredith from an RAF Tornado fighter jet, which briefly rendezvoused with Concorde over the Irish Sea.

     There is a Concorde at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. It’s so cool to go on board and experience it.

     @wonderofscience Imagine being Fred Finn and regularly seeing military jets trying to keep up with the Concorde you're traveling on

     @wonderofscience I read that the Tornado max speed was 1490mph. Concorde 1354mph.

     Not sure if these are achieved.
