SAN FRANCISCO — The SFO Museum is now presenting Supersonic Transport: The First Generation, an exhibition on the legacy of the first-generation SSTs (supersonic transports) through aircraft models, airline flight attendant uniforms, meal service sets, photographs, and video excerpts from the 1976 British Airways promotional motion picture Transatlantic Supersonic. It of course features the one SST that gained enduring global fame — the Concorde — and displays models for rival planes that never came to be. Supersonic Transport: The First Generation is on view through November 12.
