Apparently Concorde used to replenish the ozone layer...Part of its exhaust gases comprised ozone, or something. I'm not sure why it was only Concorde, or why they didn't figure out how it did it and make all planes do the same thing.
/useless fact and rubbish idea

"Concorde produced nitrogen oxides in its exhaust, which, despite complicated chemical interactions with other ozone-depleting chemicals, are understood to result in degradation to the ozone layer at the stratospheric altitudes it cruised.[177] It has been pointed out that other, lower-flying, airliners produce ozone during their flights in the troposphere, but vertical transit of gases between the layers is restricted. The small fleet operated meant overall ozone-layer degradation caused by Concorde was negligible"
