BRITISH AIRWAYS Concorde at Kai Tak
I know this is old, many of you might have seen it, but I just saw it for the first time. I also know it's no Boeing, it's uneconomical to fly, it's polluting the air on a grand scale, but it's a beautiful bird none the less. (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Lived under the flight path at Dulles in a house with a lot of sliding glass doors. The whole house would shake for about 2 minutes on landing or take off ... thank the lord it was not supersonic! They head a noise hot line just for the Concorde but that never helped. Still it was a beautiful aircraft and I'm glad I got to see it many times.
Just a question: "Why do people down vote this?"
Of course it's their right, everybody has their own opinion, but I try to understand the logic behind their opinion. 9 people voted thumbs down for this old video of a beautiful airplane going into an exotic, no longer existing airport that has a reputation of being a challenging job. What reason can they give?

I believe it was approx. 1979 or so when I was in transit at the Bahrain AP awaiting a late nite flight to the U.S. via the Orient ..when a BA Concorde was there. It was on a stop over from Singapore to London. I did witness the Concorde takeoff at approx. 0200-0300 w/the blue "diamond cone" exhaust VERY prominent!!! A few days later on the same journey I saw another BA Concorde taking off from Singapore. It was a daylight take off so the diamond cone exhaust was not visually apparent!!!!
Back in the mid to late 70s, I lived in a town on Long Island, in Suffolk County, that was under 1 of the approaches to JFK. From time to time I would look up and see 1 of these beautiful, majestic aircraft, still at several thousand feet, inbound. It was a sight that I will never forget.
Only saw Concorde in flight once. Came out of the mini-mart at NAVCAMS WESTPAC Guam, heard a strange acft, looked up, and there it was. Flying fairly low and very fast. Was just coming home from Tarague Beach on Anderson AFB. this acft departed from Anderson. Which is cool. Had the whole family in the car, so we all got a look. Impressive.
well luvs I am one of those that for several years commuted from America to Europe by Concorde, one small problem...it was on Air France. But whatever, I can not imagine a more wonderful commercial passenger experience.
Back some years ago, two Concorde flew into Tampa,Florida airport. Everyone who had any interest in flying were at field. Both jets did a low level pass, hit the after burners went up at a very steep climb then circled around the airport and landed. The most exciting time !
