Concorde (1993) IAD-LHR (Video)
Interesting piece shot by passenger, who was permitted, during the flight into the cockpit .. Of course it's pre-9-11, but also NOT a US carrier or US pilot (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

almost....space is 400k feet and orbit is Mach 26+
Some of the comments on YouTube have been unbelievably stupid and ill-informed.
Concorde was a fabulous aircraft. She might have been noisy but having seen them take off from LHR on many occasions it certainly added to the experience. Living in Cornwall we used to hear the sonic booms every evening as they flew north of us along the Bristol channel on the way back. They often used to fly over us on the outbound leg, though not at supersonic speed.
I also saw, at an airshow, one of the times when a Concordes flew in formation with the Red Arrows, following just behind the Reds who were in a V formation. Wow, what a sight !

I remember sitting in a Pan Am 747, at Heathrow, the American Pilot, over the P.A.
said if you look to the left the worlds noisiest aeroplane is just taking off, It was of course Concord. Eight and a half hours, later when we arrived in New York, I asked
one of the Flight Attendants to tell the Captain, Concords back in London.and we have only just arrived.
I flew on it once, it was on a series of charter flights, between London and Cairo, at that time everybody on board was invited to visit flight deck, and shown
how the whole plane increased in size, whilst flying at mach 2.It even had a special carpet, which stretched, and upon landing still had ripples in it, as it had not gone back to its original size. Wonderful plane, just too noisy, and not very fuel efficient,

Did you notice how empty the concord was?
