@TheLn14 I know the landing on Kai Tak are included only in Charter Flights. Some Flights are round-the-world trips. She came from Guam and flew to Bangkok. Her max range were 4,500 miles but I think flew no more than 3500.
I don't see what was wrong with this lovely paint job ... why did they decide to change it? WHY? ... KLM has not changed theirs in years, no has Lufthansa and Air France ... you know why? because you leave PERFECT alone ...
Actually, Air France and KLM have both changed their paint jobs within the last few years... just that the changes have been slight, barely noticeable at KLM (stripe line width), and mostly in the lettering and tail livery at AF.
@ImmortalSynn true. they have made modifications ... on the other hand, BA and United have decided to completely leave a lovely design behind and adopt worse ones.
Perhaps you shouldn't state opinion as if it were fact. While I miss Landor, I do realize that Chatham was very happily received.
As for United, I'm thrilled they got rid of the ridiculous "tulip" in exchange for a Continental's globe. Much more relevant to travel, and a far sharper theme in my own personal opinion.
Damn, my ears is ringing!!! Still a great plane and is a hundred years ahead. I'm sure it will be back within 5-10 years as new technologies are being develop all the time, especially the noise reduction technology they are working on now.
Even the pilots said there was nothing wrong with concord,, best plane ever so glad iv seen it fly and land at Leeds Bradford airport concord should still b flying
@playerdepimp Do some research. It crashed once. And that was because of a DC-10 part on the runway, not the plane itself. It was considered safest passenger airliner in the world prior to the crash. Also, think about how many times other aircraft have crashed. Even ones designed and developed 20-30 years later than Concorde, and seeing as Concorde was designed by pen and paper, I find it extremely impressive that the only crash it experienced was the fault of another aircraft.
@Brulszd Actually, there was fault with Air France in their faulty maintenance of the landing gear as they left the spacers out of the gear which made the wheel wobble and then disintegrate.....That little piece of DC10 engine nacelle might have helped the situation but the ultimate fault lies on the backs of AF maintenance dept. A nice little coverup to blame someone else...
@AccessAir Okay then, It was Air France's fault, but still not Concorde's! Think about how many modern planes have crashed compared to these. Still beats them all 40 years after they were made!
"Think about how many modern planes have crashed compared to these."
Indeed. Actually THINK about it.
Only twenty Concordes ever flew, with one being a fatal write-off. That's a 0.05 ratio of airframe to fatal crash. That's HORRIBLE, it should statistically NEVER had happened.
By comparison, if the 737, which has had 6943 deliveries as of today, had such a bad ratio, we would've seen 348 of them fatally crash by now. That hasn't happened in over 40yrs. Get the point?
@ImmortalSynn In some way it's difficult to tell. Had 6943 Concordes been built, how many crashes would there have been. In reality the fleet that was in airline service was too small for a representative sample.
"They" kept her in the skies for nearly 34 years... 27 of them in scheduled passenger service. That's a hell of an accomplishment by any standard, and certainly nothing calling for "shame."
in my humble opinion....they should dig out the old concorde plans..put a new computer in the cockpit..maybe some new materials on the wings....and replace the engines with the F-22 engines..and put that speedbird back in action!
@zeldaaldez actually the computers were the most advanced i think they could still use those and the rest they could just keep and make another concorde with those
You forgot the most important step... find the secret underground association of multi-billionaires who'd actually PAY for any of this to get done. lol
How anyone could ever complain about the noise from Concorde is beyond me. I would happily listen to those engines every day of my life, for the rest of my life. Thank you Mr Rolls and Mr Royce. Us Brits have always built the best planes: Spitfire, Hurricane, Lightning, TSR2, and this utter, utter masterpiece. A thing of beauty, grace, style and stunning performance. Nothing will ever come close.
all people is not equal under the communism china,most of people is so poor,but major communist has so many privilege,car house food etc etc,,,,,,major communist in china just want to keep those privilege,so that why they killed historical amount of their citizen,its typical characteristic of communism,communist kill their against people without any permission necessary,china is perfectly lawless zone,chinese communist party killed historical amount of people for keep major communist`s privilege
@jumble104 Okay... F-35 F-15 F-16 F-14 F-22 F-18 F-117 SR-71 A-10 B-2 B-52 727 737 747 757 767 787. Not to mention the actual creation of the airplane.
I used to have a model of the concord when I was a kid. It's sleek, it's elegant. Too bad petroleum price is not getting any cheaper, that was probably the main cause why BA and AF stopped their concord flight it is just too tad expensive to get them off the tarmac.
Hello and a gentle remonstrance to the person who thought the cockpit was 'basic stuff'. Of course it was, but with the engineering built into this lady, much of the gee-gaws needed to control a less sophisticated aircraft weren't needed. The simple fact of such extraordinary engineering takes over for lots of knobs or buttons. The whole of the plane was one superb mechanism - all parts fitting together superbly. Complication does not make excellence.
I did fly on Concord once looking back on my flight feel very lucky I really miss it getting all teary eyed now as a kid used to watch it take off from LHR amazing sight and sound
proud to be british, well i was then, not now, no concorde no navy, and dont even talk to me about immigrants, britain is fading away along with all our greatness
i miss that sound terribly. i lived next to heathrow all my life & heard that spine chilling whine from those engines twice a day, everyday as it was taxiing...then roooaaarrrr. precious memories =D
@jman280292 Well the only way i can describe it was that sound in this video, like a loud hissing whining air sound escaping from the back of the engines, then a high pitch whine over the top that used to fluctuate high & low as it taxiied & when it used to turn the sound would change, as if the front of the engines were pointing towards where i was at my house & the sound would get even louder. When the throttles were pushed, the sound just leaped into a high pitch, then the roar followed.
@jman280292 at 0:40 + 10 seconds, listen behind the loud hissing sound...you can just hear the sound i was talking about...that low tone whining turbine sound. Its unmistakable, its that sound i knew before concorde took off. I used to tell me Dad "its 6pm, concordes taking off". he'd say "how do you know that " then seconds later, roooaaarrr. he's laugh and say "you dont even have took at them anymore to know what they are!!
Great plane, too bad it just wasn't cost effective... they need to figure out a way to make super sonic flight avialable to everybody soon, 12 hour flights are a pain in the ass! Specialy with american airlines.. my god, the worst service in the planet
As would Dominic Santani in 'Airwolf' would say 'No matter how many times I look at her she still takes my breath away' and for me Concorde is Queen of the skies still enough said.
From what I've heard upon the opportunity to talk to Concorde pilots, it wasn't that difficult... though I thought it was neat to learn that S.O.P. for both AF and BA was for Concorde to always taxi-in (after landing) with only two engines, as thrust from all 4 (even at idle) would cause the aircraft to taxi so fast, that the brakes would have to be constantly ridden, and overheat beyond their design intentions. Pretty cool. :)
i luv it wen the polar air cargo plane crosses infront and concord is thinking get out of my way you fat slow troll!! oh you wanna race eh well kiss my four rolls royce olympus engines afterburners
@garmin65 Hey kid! Are you talking about passanger planes? Concorde cruise speed 2150 km/h max speed 2330 km/h. Tu-144 cruise speed 2300 km/h max speed 2500 km/h!
1975barbados im glad you also understand this magnificent machine however it wasnt really due to fuel costs, for BA it was making a proffit right til the end, not air france however, if BA had paid in full for the aircraft it wouldnt have but they paid only 1p each when BA was privatised, it was withdrawn due to the airbus no longer willing to supply parts or services, 911 and an unknown sudden move by BA, Richard Branson loved concorde also and offered millions for the BA fleet but BA said no:(
Don't be fooled, Branson's bid was a publicity stunt and nothing more. It doesn't matter how much he was willing to pay for the birds, as he couldn't operate them without B.A.C.E.'s knowledge of how to maintain them-- which was so specialized that even NASA engineers went through training under them, for techniques to maintain the aging shuttle fleet. No way in hell BA would allow BACE engineers to go to Branson, and he knew that from the start.
Only 1 Concorde ever crashed,that's a record second to none....... The reason it was taken out of service was because the price of Aviation fuel went sky high,meaning it was not profitable. But for British Airways it was their flagship,they should have kept it even if it was at a loss,it made u proud to be British and proud to fly with BA......look at the state of BA now ! Its like Ferrari pulling out of Formula 1 !!!!
i bet the families of the victims who died on this aircraft hate concorde and think its worthless. You should spare a thought for the people's lives this machine took and the inocent people on the ground it killed. ITs not nice seeing people burn to death

@restey11 I'm not. I went to an air museum and saw how basic one of these are inside the cockpit and am glad I never flew on such basic stuff

@garmin65 Hey kid! Are you talking about passanger planes? Concorde cruise speed 2150 km/h max speed 2330 km/h. Tu-144 cruise speed 2300 km/h max speed 2500 km/h!

1975barbados im glad you also understand this magnificent machine however it wasnt really due to fuel costs, for BA it was making a proffit right til the end, not air france however, if BA had paid in full for the aircraft it wouldnt have but they paid only 1p each when BA was privatised, it was withdrawn due to the airbus no longer willing to supply parts or services, 911 and an unknown sudden move by BA, Richard Branson loved concorde also and offered millions for the BA fleet but BA said no:(

@3wheeltrike
Don't be fooled, Branson's bid was a publicity stunt and nothing more. It doesn't matter how much he was willing to pay for the birds, as he couldn't operate them without B.A.C.E.'s knowledge of how to maintain them-- which was so specialized that even NASA engineers went through training under them, for techniques to maintain the aging shuttle fleet. No way in hell BA would allow BACE engineers to go to Branson, and he knew that from the start.

Only 1 Concorde ever crashed,that's a record second to none....... The reason it was taken out of service was because the price of Aviation fuel went sky high,meaning it was not profitable. But for British Airways it was their flagship,they should have kept it even if it was at a loss,it made u proud to be British and proud to fly with BA......look at the state of BA now ! Its like Ferrari pulling out of Formula 1 !!!!

Packs5100.....I'm in total agreement with your post.
Concorde was a familiar sight here at JFK. There will be a another like her. Just a superb aero sculpture.

I would not call the Concorde beautiful, good, or even ok.
I would call it a true piece of art. Its sleek and modern design gives it that very majestic look that will make it an important footnote in history.

Thank you for posting this. Best take-off video of Concorde I've seen. And I can account for over 100 views alone! ;)

i bet the families of the victims who died on this aircraft hate concorde and think its worthless. You should spare a thought for the people's lives this machine took and the inocent people on the ground it killed. ITs not nice seeing people burn to death
