How was that received?

Universally, people were excited.

So there was a bipartisan bill that got introduced in the House and in the Senate called the Supersonic Aviation Modernization Act.

They basically said, hey, FAA, go rewrite your rules so you can fly supersonic without a boom, you're allowed.

And so that got introduced very quickly.

Senator Budd introduced it in the Senate.

And Representative Troy Nels introduced it in the House.

We had bipartisan support on the House.

And then meanwhile, I think the president looked at it.

And he loved Concorde.

There's this beautiful video clip of him talking about how it was the most beautiful airplane ever and never really should have gone away.

And he said, well, I can do it faster than Congress.

I'm going to do an executive order.

And so he did.

Well, let's start with a vision.

We can work backwards to how we get there.

Okay.

I want to replace subsonic with supersonic for every passenger on every route, at least every long route.

You know, for the president all the way down to families.

Anything that's more than three or four hours today, you can kind of argue where the threshold is, where the speed really makes a big difference.
