WHAT !!! Concorde Never Flew at 2,200mph...At least the Flights I've been on its max speed was 1350mph or Mach 2.2.MAXIMUM, and Ceiling was 60,000 Feet...
It did Reach that celing Once, the Times I flew Her, But mostly around 56-58000 Ft. was the Norm...
And Concorde took 3hrs and 25 mintes From JFK-LHR, or 3 hrs 45 min. From IAD-LHR...INCREDIBLE FLIGHT'S....AMAZING SPEED, I MISS CONCORDE, NOTHING COMPARES..TO THE ROCKET ! ! ! RIP ! ! !

@DannyladMCFC Singapore Airlines actually wet-leased the Concorde from British Airways Braniff did the same too

i like how explains everything and makes takeoff seem like a rocket launch this vid is so cool!!!
-
I assume near the end when everyone let out a "woooh" was when the deceleration kicked in!!!

The voice doing the commentating sounded like Geoff Musset. He is a concorde pilot but was acting as a PA on this charter flight and was not controlling the aircraft. They did not do this on normal commercial flights.

@rigdon don't forget, this was in 1998...

It was the pilot. Trust me.

@rigdon Concorde hit 250 mph in 17 seconds on a positioning flight out of cardiff in 2000 . That flight set a number of records including 0 to mach 1 in 4 minutes and 0 -o mach 2 in 9 minutes!!!
