@princechasing: On June 30, 1973, the supersonic prototype jet Concorde 001 successfully chased and kept up with a total solar eclipse over the Sahara Desert. Flying at Mach 2.05 (over 2,500 km/h), the aircraft stayed inside the moon's shadow to give scientists an unprecedented 74 minutes of uninterrupted totality. #concorde #avation #eclips #xyzabc #plsdontflop
