If it was cleared to fly but unloaded and strictly below supersonic, would all the fuel trim adjustment, reheat etc be required? Maybe that's their plan, not have all the "complexities" in the way?

Interesting thought, but taking out those systems would be a major modification, and pilots of complex aircraft often get twitchy about having things on their aircraft that aren't maintained in working order even if they aren't planning to use them. Also, I'm not sure Concorde can take off without reheat.

I'm with you on that one...it'd be like flying a bottom of the range 1990's Jag/BMW...lots of blanked off switches and panels on the dashboard
