SC Tiger Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 57 minutes ago, pipedreams said: On this day: 24th October 2003 — in history. The final Concorde flight lands at Heathrow Airport, with thousands gathered to witness the event. The supersonic planes had been in service for 27 years but were retired three years after the crash of Air France Flight 4590. British-French turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner, with seating for 92 to 128 passengers. It had a maximum speed of over twice the speed of sound at Mach 2.04. It is one of only two supersonic transports to have been operated commercially; the other is the Soviet-built Tupolev Tu-144, which operated in the late 1970s. I believe the Tupulov's operational window was greatly exaggerated. Supposedly it was NOT a pleasant flight. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dric902 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 A total of 74 diamonds -- representing the number of wins last season and in the playoffs -- are included in the ring's face, which features the team's 'North' chevron logo, Scotiabank Arena, the Toronto skyline, and a 1.25-carat diamond on top of the Larry O'Brien championship trophy. There are over 650 diamonds -- at a weight of 14 carats -- in the 14-karat yellow gold ring, which is the largest NBA championship ring ever made, the team said. "This is a ring that's not just for the team but for everyone that was involved in this historic run," said Shannon Hosford, the chief marketing officer at Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. "Every little piece was thought through." The outer edge features 16 rubies along with jersey numbers from the team roster. The ring shoulder has the individual player name and jersey number -- surrounded by diamonds, of course -- with 'World Champions," '2019,' and the league and team logos on the other shoulder. A personalized engraving is included on the inside of the ring, along with a ruby set inside a Maple Leaf. The ring was produced by Windsor, Ont.,-based Baron Championship Rings, which designed the Cleveland Cavaliers' championship ring in 2016. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
