United has a better chance of replacing their entire fleet with Max 10s, A350s and 777Xs than seeing a single boom mfg'd supersonic plane

The business not the aerodynamics are destined to fail. This Scholl guy is Aviations Elizabeth Holmes without the Turtlenecks. I cant wait for the HBO special. Airlines place orders with Boeing, Airbus, Embraer etc...............for Boom they make non refundable deposits........hmmmmm I'm wondering why the change in language....it starts joggin the noggin

I don't know anything about him. But I know the Scholl name because of Art Scholl.

Curious if there's any relation?

The 66 year old chase plane also went supersonic. Why the fuss?
