Hi Jesse,

that video talks about the Tupolev being the first airplane that was faster than sound. Something about it being the first plane that did the sonic boom in 1969 earlier than the concord. Travels 2 1/2 the speed of sound. Does that makes sense? It was pretty technical. Anyway, they took the plane apart to ship it to the museum and rebuilt it over there.
