Concorde

[@FlyBoy7X7]

The ending looks like the final commercial flight of Air France's Concorde. I had the opportunity to fly JFK/CDG/JFK back in April of 2003 on the Concorde. It was spectacular and members of the cockpit and cabin crews were the absolute best! Being a commercial pilot, I was welcomed into the cockpit during flight while flying at mach 2.01 at an altitude of 60,000 feet - an experience I will never forget. Thanks for posting this!

[@davidjordan1726]

I flew on BA Concorde just once in the 80’s, and as we were close to landing at JFK, the captain said to us “ we are about to land, and the 747 that left LHR at the same time, is now halfway across the Atlantic !” It reminded us of just how fast that plane flew. It was a shame when it was taken out of service, but I’m so grateful for at least being able to enjoy it, just once

[@213djw]

Woah thats a big thing to tell people you flew the Concorde nowadays people probably won't believe you

[@Ferrorschini]

In the 70s they made a test. A Concorde and a 747 started a the same time in Paris to New York. The Concorde landed in New York, load out the passengers take the new passengers in and flow back to Paris. The Concorde landed at Paris again before the 747 has reached New York. Thats just impressive and awesome. Concorde youre the best of the best !!!!!!!!!!!

[@NgaiOlaudah]

La Concorde was a stark ravingly BEAUTIFUL plane, one of the prettiest and aesthetically pleasing ever created for passenger or military. I was very sorry to see her decommissioned! Thanks for the memorial upload!

[@johnloveridge7514]

I flew in Concorde on 10 occasions. 3 from New York and 7 from Barbados. If was a fantastic aeroplane.

[@stevemcilroy.62]

I was a car transporter driver when this plane was around. I delivered to Heathrow every night at 7, concorde would take off. It set all the car alarms off it was so loud, and that was on the outskirts of the airport, I used to love watching it, including the sound. They have a concorde exprience at Grantley Adams airport in Barbados if you ever visit, respect.

I had the pleasure of flying her once from New York to Paris. What an experience! The sensation was incredible as was the view of dark blue skies and the curvature of the earth as we cruised at 60,000’ above all signs of clouds and turbulence. I never forgot the service either - amongst other delights, lobster Thermidor and rack of lamb accompanied by vintage wines, culminating in a suburb vintage Armagnac. I confess I was a little wobbly when we landed...

[@Neverforget71324]

Yep... but I still like the Lockheed Constellation better in terms of sheer beauty.

[@vulgivagu]

This aircraft started design stage when I was at school in 1961. It did not enter commercial service until 1973 , it was always a financial disaster but it led to many amazing developments in aviation technology. It had ordinary analogue dials but the controls operated by a digital computer and it was truly fly by wire, now the norm.

[@LauraLeeClare]

What a beautiful bird. I miss the concordes being in service.

[@mikebarnard7957]

Absolutely! And the aircraft isn't bad looking either! Seriously though, it's a great shame it was eventually discontinued despite Branson offering £1 for it. I managed one trip from JFK to LHR back in the 80s with my then wife and young daughter. Magical. It was half empty and we got to meet the captain and first officer on the flight deck. I have a photo of that with the captain wearing a hot towel on his head brought in by the senior flight attendant. The first officer landed it and it was perfect. Great memories.

[@LauraLeeClare]

@@mikebarnard7957 Oh wow that must have been so exciting for you and your family. I never flew on one, but when my sister and I were on a flight to England back in 1978, the pilot of our 747 had pointed out where we could see a concorde flying in another direction. It was mega cool.

Oh Concorde ! Le plus beau de tous les avions de ligne du monde, le plus élégant et le plus racé. Quel dommage que sa carrière se soit terminée si tristement, qu' on n' ait pas trouvé de solution pour le faire évoluer écologiquement. Dépassé ? Peut-être pas, mais trop onéreux en carburant. Il est inégalé jusqu' à ce jour. Il restera à jamais dans nos coeurs. Ce fut une belle aventure franco-britannique.

[@cedo8323]

Il n’est pas dépassé, après concilier vitesse et écologie c’est illusoire, la performance et la vitesse n’ont jamais été rentable Le Concorde est à l’aviation ce que la Formule 1 est à la voiture Mais cette avion laissera une trace indélébile, un sentiment de fierté nationale, un symbole nationale qu’on aurait bien besoin en ce moment dans notre pays…

[@paulradulescu]

As you said in your comment, this fantastic aircraft was the most beautiful aircraft made ever. To see this aircraft flying in the air today is not possible because we all live under the greatest lie of all.... Climate change theory. Unfortunately under this irrational rule, all the engines ( petrol or diesel) have to disappear, so the supersonic engines don't stand a chance flying over Europe's airspace 😢😢😢

[@AirplaneDetective]

I remember seeing concorde for the first time at jfk while I was sitting in another plane holding short of the runway. It came by and flared right next to where I was and touched down, I remember it looking a lot smaller in person than I had expected. What a beautiful looking airplane in flight, glad I got to see it.

I saw the Concorde once back in the 80s at the airport of Rochambeau in French Guiana while passing there in a school bus on the way to college.The same day when i was back home about 7:30pm,the concorde was taking off.We heard the noise of the engines when the jet was on the runway taking off,our house was 14km away from the airport!!!! I will never forget the noise this plane made!!! This is surely one of the reasons why this plane wasn't successful commercially.

[@BrokebackBob]

The Concorde is fantastic on any dimension you can name. Any problems that it had that caused the senseless panic that grounded her could have been overcome. My God look at the engineering it took just to bring her to the sky.

I still have problems to understand how the Concorde as a passenger jet could fly Mach 2 over long distances while even most military jets in our days are not faster.

[@acsimpson2633]

Think about surface areas: Concorde and the Tornado. Concorde has fuel even in the vertical stabiliser. It cruises around FL 550 - FL 600 in a straight line (more or less) Tornado is thrashed around low level 250 ft - 2000ft round hills, the throttles in constant motion, as is the control stick. All this adds up to a very uneconomical method of transport…….. and don’t forget - FastJet crews sit on their MB ejection seats, hard and unforgiving - and ‘Tea and stickies’ starts at 16:30 in the Officers Mess, although most men prefer Toast and Marmite (or Bovril if available!)😅 Love to all, stay SAFE XXX

[@erdvilla]

Fighters need high maneuverability. Bombers on the other hand have some models capable of high Mach speeds because they fly higher, straight and the faster they can deliver the payload the better.

Wow Concorde is such a beauty. I love it. I wonder how much would have costed the KJFK to EGLL Heatrow flight for example, to a passanger? Also I am quite certain that the Afterburner was used on takeoff, but was it also used to achieve M2.02 beacause on flight simulator it is impossible to gain the altitude and that speed with regular thrust.

[@Raven_A5]

It's really stupid how there has been more accidents with space-shuttles and any other airplane, and when the concorde has it's first accident, it's taken away!

[@KenSeeber]

That isn't why the Concorde was retired. In fact it was flown for several more years after the Air France crash and even received some safety updates because of the crash. The reason it was retired was because the aircraft was starting to show its age, hadn't been updated from a technology standpoint, and the airlines found it was much more profitable to fly passengers on conventional subsonic jets.

[@asthalis]

I do not understand why the french government (I'm french myself) spent so much money to modify the structure of the fuel tanks and stopped the aircraft one year later... For me, it would have been more logical to stop the aircraft right after the crash (it was not the first time the aircraft was criticized for its non-profitability) or to let it fly a few more years. And I'm more surprised that nobody wanted all DC-10's to be grounded after the crash since the reason of the fire was a shock due to a piece of metal dropped by a DC-10 right before Concorde's take off... Obviously, nobody was shocked to keep flying aircraft that lose pieces ! Anyway, Concorde was and will remain a piece of art and a very nice-looking bird.

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

I agree. I think back then, it was just any old excuse to stop that beautiful bird, by very intolerant people!

[@MM-tt7hy]

@Bobobo: only 20 Concordes were made. That means that with one crash you have a 5% fatal crash rate. That is very high

[@IdeaBoxful]

The contrast is in the inside, Avionics from early 1970's obviously updated on the inside. It had a unique variable bypass turbofan --- turbo jet engine. The turbo fan component working during the subsonic flight and then the bypass kicks in to create a turbojet at high mach and supersonic flight. The engineers who achieved it during the end of sixtees at Roll royce and british aircraft industry were geniuses.

hello mam . I'm 17 and I have a passion to become a pilot . but I'm scared that the loans may consume me . so I wanna know if it's a good thing to become a pilot . and can you support yourself financially. also did you have to undergo the atpl examination to become a captain ? . thanks in advance

[@amberalexandrabayleycooke212]

+Megadelorix Hi,i red your question and,here i am,4 an answer.First of all i honestly can confirm that getting an ATPL is very expensive. In 1999 i spent something as 250.000$(!)(I went to Florida,U.S.A. to a very good flight school owned by a friend of my father)and the iter to become a pilot is very long,and you have to practice 4 a long time with the flight simulator,and to study a lot of Theoric subjects......Then you start with your real first flights(short mileage)to reach 1500 hours of flight to get (finally)your ATPL . Last step";Type rating"(it allows you to choose 4 Boeing (or Airbus) specific airplane). when then you start to work 4 a good Airline,slowly you;ll amortize the great amount of money spent at the flight school....you become a Captain after hours&hours of flight...and at present i earn 18.000 Pounds pro month,so i can support awesomely my family....well,dear friend,i hope my answer can be usefully 4 you....now i've got to close...my pre-flight briefing starts in 20 minutes....fo'r further and more detailed infos...i;m here..Bye and Good Luck! : )

[@megadelorix6652]

+Amber Dickinson 666 thank you ma'am I've got a lot of information through you and you've really helped me a lot . I hope I've not caused you trouble . and I have another question . how many years did it take you to be in this position ? . if your a pilot do you have time to spend with your family ? . how difficult is it to get a job if your a pilot ? . oh and lastly is it better to become an engineer or a pilot . once again I am sorry if I'm causing inconvenience to you . I hope you have a wonderful day. and thanks a TON !!!!!!! . :)

+Megadelorix Hi again,my dear friend.First of all i congrat with you 4 your kindness and your politeness...No worries,you've not caused any trouble to me... : ) Now,let'go....1st answer:From 1999,when i left home to go to USA,it took me almost 2 years to get "wings" as a Boeing's Pilot,more than 7000 hours of flight(and 2 emergency Landings...in windstorm and during a heavy snowstorm...i've kept my calm....and the Airline mentioned me with the fourth golden strip....so i became a Captain when i was 30 years old...) 2nd answer: Too little time(ayy,carambaa!!) expecially with my Old Grumpy (my husband),because he's a Head Technician 4 a cars Racing Team,so,sometimes,i come back home when he's leaving...(too little sex..ahem!).but i have enough time to spend with my 3 treasures(my 10 years old daughter and my twins,two real little "hooligans" aged 5 and with my dear Mother,aged 75.she lives with us since my Father,unfortunately,died 6 years ago(R.I.P.,Daddy...))

[@amberalexandrabayleycooke212]

+Megadelorix 3rd answer:to get a proper job as a pilot you have to get a Degree and (obiouvsly) your ATPL + Type Rating.In my case that old friend of my Dad,helped me a lot...he's a"big-wig" here in U.K.(he owns 2 airlines and he's the C.E.O. Manager of Cardiff Aviation)...4th answer: I will be honest,if you prefer a quiet life,with a regular work-time,and a lot of time to spend with your family(expecially with your wife very close to you every night..Ahem... ; ) )it's better 4 you to become an engineer,maybe you can project a new Airplane's Model....who knows? Otherwise,if you want an adrenalinic,sometimes dangerous,never boring,restless life-style and change your Country every day....deeply concentrated on Board's Instruments...follow the example of this" Gypsy of the Sky "(me..)

Great to see a woman in the cockpit of the dream machine. i SAW HER SAIL PAST NIAGARA FALLS, made quite the noise, so much that the squirrels i was feeding dove for cover! I retained my hearing 5 minutes later. Hope the little squirrels didn't go deaf though. Still, she was a beauty to behold!

Espectacular el Concorde creo que era adelantado a su tiempo deberia de ser una marivilla volar en esa aeronave

The Concorde in this picture obviously has vastly upgraded avionics.. TCAS (Collision Avoidance) for etc since CATIII/IV(I am not sure) norms would have mandated a lot of changes in the electronic brain of the aircraft. But they still retained the quaint Analog look of the older era jet and didn't move to CRT's
