Concorde du Musée Delta - Athis Mons, FR - Static Aircraft Displays on Waymarking.com

Ce Concorde est un modèle d'exposition du Musée Delta de Athis-Mons, à proximité de l'aéroport d'Orly. Il s'agit d'un modèle de pré-série 02 enregistré en 1971. Il a à son actif 314 vols normaux, 189 vols supersoniques pour un total de 938 heures de vol. Son dernier vol a eu lieu le 20 mai 1976.
Le Concorde 02 F-WTSA est le 4ème aéronef a avoir été fabriqué, et le deuxième en pré série. Il fut le premier Concorde a se poser sur le sol américain à Dallas (Texas) le 20 septembre 1973. Il fit ensuite son premier vol transatlantic avec passagers pour le chemin du retour.
Pendant les test, l'aéronef fut peint aux couleurs de British Airways d'un côté, et d'Air France de l'autre bien qu'il soit enregistré comme français. Au début des années 2000, il fut repeint entièrement aux couleurs d'Air France avant de retrouver ses couleurs d'origines.
Le dernier vol du Concorde pré série 02 eu lieu entre Toulouse et Orly, de 15:19 à 16:26. Il fut ensuite légué à Aéroports de Paris.
En 1988, ADP décida que le Concorde 02 n'était plus une priorité et le légua à son tour au Musée Delta, non loin de l'aéroport.
