The last British Airways Concorde was taken from London's Heathrow Airport to the Museum of Flight at East Fortune, near Edinburgh, Scotland, yesterday (4 April). The aircraft - minus its wings, tail and nose cone - was driven from Heathrow to the River Thames, where it was placed on a barge bound for Scotland.

Engineering company URS Corp claims that it lost a multimillion-dollar airport contract after refusing to donate USD100,000 to the mayor's campaign against a secession effort in Los Angeles. Two other companies that contributed a combined USD140,000 to Mayor James K. Hahn's anti-secession campaign are instead being considered by the city's airport commission for the contract, reported the Los Angeles Times.
