The Sierra Delta had a brillant career. This plane was used for special flights and maiden flights like the first Mach 2 speed usage. It also established the record for the highest commercial worldwide run from West to East between 12 and 13 October in 1992, with a 25h15 hours of flight including 18h18 supersonic speed. On the 15 and 16 August 1995, it’s the reverse way from East to West that was made with a 22h46 flight duration, including 18h46 at supersonic speed.

The Sierra Delta stopped its career on the 31 May 2003, with the last Concorde flight when it landed at Roissy. Its complete exploitation is 12 976 hours on 4 282 flights since the 26 June 1978.
