Really?

I saw the Concorde at OshKosh Air Show. Doubt they had problems flying there, landing, and setting up for viewing plus several demonstration flights. After that, I recall they were set to fly out west coast for another show.

Don't think the USG had any issues with the plane.

Not to mention the flights from JFK to Heathrow and Paris.

It didn't fly supersonic over the CONUS. USG actively blocked Concorde in the early days, hence the first routes were to the ME and not the US.
