24 hours before president Kennedy was to announce the launch of an American SST program, Pan American CEO Juan Trippe announced he purchased "options" to buy 6 Concordes. The media reported PanAm ORDERS 6 Concordes. In reality Trippe never intended to buy a single Concorde and was merely playing a game to help boost production of the American SST, which is what he really wanted all along I believe.
But at the time JFK took the news story at face value, and did not take it well!
