In the previous thread some associated "Boom" with "Something blowing up" which wasn't perceived as a great name for a plane.

Yeah, I thought it was a horrible name in light of the fact that the last supersonic jet program was permanently grounded because of a crash.

Was it not grounded due to Airbus ending their support agreements?
