In the Antelope Valley, it's still talked about when people recollect the B-1 production days.

When Concorde went out of service the display pilots wanted to roll it on their last airshow but the Insurance people refused. Now that would have been something to see.

And perhaps catastrophic (c.f., B707 roll during Seafair). The 367 had rather significant damage, but the marketers and operators in attendance were sold. She still sits down at Boeing Field Seattle. Ugly colors, but beautiful plane.
