I would always find a half bottle of Dom Perignon stashed under my seat - Meet Concorde’s million mile man
It was a sports car, it wasn’t a Rolls Royce,” says Fred Finn wistfully as he provides a second-by-second account of taking off in Concorde, the iconic supersonic airliner. .......... (www.thegentlemansjournal.com) Daha Fazlası...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

I remember they offered that same Concorde/QEII flight from Asheville, NC. Plane landed and it snowed. The flight was delayed for a while due to snow removal. When it took off, the pilot did a low, slow loop around downtown Asheville with wings tilted. It seemed like a plane that flies that fast would just fall out of the sky going that slow.
Missed an opportunity to fly the Concorde when it came to the EAA in Oshkosh back in the 80's. I did get to see its approach and landing from Steve Wittman's house, and that was quite a thrill.
The best thing about Concorde from DC to Paris was the better than flying private experience. The private lounges were better than any first class experience at airports now. More like a private club with the best personal service. After take-off roll which was exhilarating, you really did not have a feel for the speed were it not for the mach indicator on the bulkhead which mostly read 2.05, or placing your hand on the window which was warm from the friction.
I would always find a half-full air sickness bag stashed under my seat on Spirit.
Very Cool !! sorry I didn't scrounge every dime for a flight on Concord just once.
Great place to see one and walk inside... Museum near Boeing Field.
I mean if you’d tried to get in the office of the people I met, it would have been almost impossible.”
This is so true even in First today, the closest I've come while flying, Met Robert Redford on the way to Salt Lake, Robert Duval to LAX, and just across from Orlando Bloom Lufthansa on the A380 Munich (with miles of course :) ...

I miss seeing those beautiful birds fly.
