Dear friends and followers welcome back to this third and final episode of my Concorde documentary.
Within the first part of the video, I´ll be explaining the approach and landing part of Concorde, flying a standard ILS approach into New York John F. Kennedy airport. You´ll see some great footage from the inside of the cockpit during approach and landing and I`ll mention some interesting facts about the different procedure until Concorde is fully established on the ILS. Approach speeds, pitch attitude, when to extend the landing gear and how to deal with the famous Concorde nose.
Later in the video, I´ll be going over some mind-blowing facts which made Concorde so special and different from other airliners. Did you know, Concorde had no flaps or speed brakes/ground spoilers? Or as you extended the gear, the call out was "Gear down, four green"! Why four? You´ll see in the video!
And finally who flew with Concorde, and why the British public was so proud to be a part of Concorde? You´ll even see a short clip of a formation flight with the famous Royal Airforce - Red Arrows.
And my final words about how I feel about Concorde and the future of supersonic flight.
Thank you very much for your support throughout this video series. Also a huge thank you to Brooklands museum near London, for making this video possible. By the way, all the earnings of the three part series will be donated to the volunteers working at Brooklands museum, as they were so incredibly helpful during my time with Concorde "DELTA GOLF".
Thanks for watching, all the best your "Captain" Joe

every time i see a concorde video i get tears in my eye. so beautiful.
me too and that is no exxageration
Me too!! And I don't know why!!
me too
Yes, indeed. A beautiful plane greater than the sum of her parts. Me too.
it was so stupid i LOVE CONCORDE IT (WAS) THE QUEEN OF THE SKY SHE IS BEUTYFULL I GET TEARS IN MY EYES TOO why did they put her out of service?
I cycled 90miles down to RAF Fairford in 1969 when I was 18 yrs old to see Concorde complete its first maiden flight. We had to wait all day for it to come in but when it did, it was well worth it.
John R Longcroft-Neal me too, but I was lucky, I lived in Fairford then....well done.
John R Longcroft-Neal
i envy u. it would have been well worth it, indeed.
I did it too. I remember it was hurricane like weather. Turning to blizzard. Up hill.....both ways.
So you're 69 years old and you write comments in CZcams?
This Stunning Plane was so far ahead of it's time it would still be impressive today (2019)
Not only today but also in 20-30yrs time!
Exactly.
But in present day, it may have some modifications to take care of the noise, body heating, and other issues.
@@daviderhahon
Let's hope the new "Boom concorde" will be really her true successor
And today 2022 yeah I’m from the future
I just shed a tear. I don't know why. As if I'm a little boy and someone took my favorite toy away for no good reason.
so many feels this trilogy brought forward. it was just a marvel of engineering.
You're not alone, man. Concorde was one of a kind. Jeremy clarkson famously said upon its grounding; "Losing Concorde is like one giant leap backwards for mankind." o7
@@cypher1018 I watched that clip. I hope I got the same one you are talking about where he's travelling in a regular passenger plane and cribbing about wasting time over the oceans.
I love this plane. Even if we someday achieve commercial supersonic flight, I will never have the same emotional connection with them like I do with the Concorde.
As a child we had a family holiday in England and stayed in Reading. One of my most vivid memories of that holiday was playing in the back garden when this incredible rumble started getting louder and louder until Concorde came into view and flew directly over head. Thank you for reminding me of that day!
Mcandmar Concorde 01 to JFK went over Reading most days around 10:45 heading for the Compton beacon a bit further west.
I visited Galeao airport's control tower in Rio a few times during Concorde arrivals. The crew would never call by Air rance's flight number. Instead, they'd say, "Galeao tower, this is _le Concorde."_ The flight controllers always grinned, then gave clearances by flight number, and the crew would then acknowledge back: "Roger, _le Concorde_ cleared to land, runway xyz". This goes to show how proud they were of the machine they were flying.
What a fantastic anecdote!
British Airways pilots used to slip Concorde into their callsign. Instead of "Speedbird One" it was "Speedbird Concorde One"
As a Yankee, I wish to say that we hugely admire our Brit friends for their pioneering work! Their painful experience and diligence with the Comet made the Boeing 707 possible. Their pioneering work with aircraft carriers years before made ours possible, and they taught us how to land our own F4U Corsair on a carrier, making it viable for flat top use. Their Merlin engine made our P-51 possible, not to mention their jet engine pioneering. And let no one forget the magnificent de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito-the Wooden Wonder/Timber terror, the magisterial Merlin-powered Avro Lancaster and Griffon-powered Supermarine Spitfire. We reflect with respect on our British cousins.
🇺🇸💛🇬🇧
As a Brit, I’d like to say we’re all in this together. You guys, with the help of German rocket scientists created the Saturn V rocket that got man to the moon, later you built the beautiful space shuttle (my favourite vehicle of all time). As a kid I was also a big fan of the Lockheed SR-71 and the B2 bomber, those planes fascinated me. Together we can achieve great things.
Nice words, Glen. Thanks.
Ollie OJ Fowler
With the help of British engineers and scientists too, such as Francis Thomas Bacon.
Someone forgot the french here. But it's fine, we're used to it
@@paulh.9526 Who?
It was the masterpiece of Britain and France engineering. So sad for the not deserved crash caused by a piece of metal on the runway.
it wasn't removed until three years later. High maintenance costs and fewer passengers flying it to pay for it did it.
@@watchgoose : However a technical masterpiece!
I really dont likr Dc 10s
Congrats for the passion you talk about planes and aviation. You do transmit to us in a great way.
@@luismh184 : Thanks to you!
Do a story on the 747 or A380. Your choice but both are gigantic movers of the industry so it would be fun to watch! Thanks for the great series on such an amazing plane!!!
Jman a380 is more like the flop of the industry currently
A380 a giant mover? Can't confirm.
Jman 747 would be the better one
747 for sure is a good idea !
737?
Joe, as a woman who's dream was to become a pilot, but couldn't because of health reasons, I can honestly tell you that I cried the day the Concord crashed. It was my biggest dream to at least see it in person. That dream was shattered in July 2000... I'm so happy you got to do that little documentary!! I sort of lived my dream through you... Thanks!
TransylviaC Where do you live? They are at least still living on in various museums around the world. I recently walked through one of the prototypes that is exhibited at Duxford.
Hi Benny! Well, I'm in Canada, Montreal to be exact. To my knowledge, we don't have anything remotely resembling Concord in any of our aviation museums. Sad, I know! ;-)
Your nearest Concorde is probably the Intrepid museum in New York
Noel Griffin Probably, yes. Can't wait to go there!
Noel Griffin I stood under that Concorde. Awesome plane.
Joe, what you did here is truly a masterpiece! You made me fall in love with Concorde all over again.
I really enjoy watching your videos and have much respect for you.
Greetings from Curaçao!
I loved this series - thank you! Presented with passion, and real affection for this gorgeous engineering marvel. I was lucky enough to fly on her twice (and what a thrill that was, especially when the afterburners cut in to push us through Mach 1). I was also sadly at the Paris Airshow to witness the crash of her rival, the Tupolev 144. Well done Capn Joe, your style and pace are super engaging and your positivity is infectious!
Please make a series of videos about history of navigation. Even Concorde had rather interesting navigation systems, but looking deeper to history of air transport it is even more fascinating how people managed to cover huge distances without GPS.
Brian May (guitar player for Queen) said his father actually worked in the development of the Concorde's navigation system.
You deserve all the subscriptions on youtube; Your adamant dedication and high energy to this fantastic exploration of human achievement deserves nothing less.
"The engineers working on Concorde were geniuses..." They certainly were.
progeocaching no they were good engineers. Thats what Engineers do.
Definitely better than those that designed the MAX.
이주연 That has nothing to do with Concorde and stop using the MAX program in this conversation.
It was amazing to me not only the engineering of building these aircraft but to take them up the first time and figure out how to fly them. To bad the Concorde is no longer flying. I would love to watch it climb out on Flight tracking.
NASA engineers have said that it took more technical know how to design and build Concorde to fly commercially at supersonic speeds than it took to get their Apollo missions to the moon. FACT!🇬🇧🇫🇷✌✌
We used to live just north of Bath, England, and would see and hear this graceful aircraft as it passed high above our home in the early evening on its way to New York. She was so fast that we quickly learned to look well ahead of the sound of the engines to see her. Never anything less than thrilling! Thanks for these three films. 👍
Im a simple man, I see a captain Joe video I watch it😉 I hope you have a great and productive weekend!
That doesn't mean you' re a simple man.
Raidzor つ ◕_◕ つ It does mean I have good taste though😉
Kwazi Donsta Well, that's true! Cheers
I grew up just a few miles from Filton, and recall listening to her engine tests as a young boy. Brilliant!
Amazing!! I love the concord as well. I wish they would bring her back.
I’m so glad you did this for us all! Bravo!!!
Concord landed, then took off, from Bluegrass Airport in Lexington Ky in 1989. I heard on a local radio station that it was taking off at that moment. I live about 30 miles south of Lexington, and it wasn't but a few minutes and I saw her heading south up in the sky. Cool memory.
What a truly wonderful airplane and what a truly wonderful job you did 'reviewing' it. I learned a lot from it and your enthusiasm was infectious. Thank you very much.
me and my son love your videos.....we wait each Thursday for the new video...... I hope that my son's dream come true one day to be a pilot .....
I almost had tears in my eyes while watching this video for some reason. I could relate to everything Captain Joe was saying. Absolutely marvelous. Keep up the good work Captain.
Could you please do a video sometime about VOR and GPS and if GPS can do the job of VOR in navigation. Been really bugging me. Thanks. Safe landings!
this plane is wonderful!!! they should bring it back.
Until 2030
Well if they bring it back the stupid enviromentalists will go batshit and also it burns way too much fuel.
@@novemberdelta1282 It would certainly not be profitable at all these days of the golden era of low cost. Also luxury and confort is more important to rich people this century than getting faster somewhere. It would sadly not work really well in the 21st century to have a supersonic plane without taking into account that many (airline) companies are losing money already , and now that covid-19 has hit hard a struggling aviation.
@@adridell well covid 19 is ending soon, so after the pandemic mustn't there be some market for concorde? Also fuel prices might be really low just after the pandemic.
@@novemberdelta1282 this comment didnt age well
Such an amazing plane, and I see Captain Joe feels very much the same way, and even more about it. Very nice to see your effort and excitement you have producing these videos. Congratulations, bravo!
Dear Captain Joe. Thank you so much! You really did this amazing bird justice with your fabulous videos. I find myself watching these series over and over and I enjoy them every time. I look forward to hopefully being a passenger on one of your flights and meeting you soon

I agree with you, I like to watch them several times too. Thank you Captain Joe.
Many of us have been captivated since early childhood by the sights and sounds of the aircraft overhead. It's easy to see and relate to the love you have for this magnificent airplane. Thank you for sharing your story! I got goosebumps!
I had a team member who originally worked at Heathrow as an Engineer on the Concorde. On the day Concorde landed last at Heathrow i arranged that we had to go onsite to a customer. We were just passing the airport when she came in in all her beauty. A sight one never forgets. I also won't forget the look on my team members face, we both had almost tears in our eyes. And when i resigned he came to me and thanked me again for arranging that trip to the customer passing Heathrow at exactly the right time. 2 weeks later i had him back in a job interview at my new employer and he signed the dotted line instantly. So yes, Concorde did build bridges and it did connect people.
I think that the DC-10 would be very interesting to do next.

Why is this post sooooooo down. GO up ma friend.

I would vote DC-3! Keep up the good work CJ! Thanks / Frankie
Jezza quote deserves a like
Great video! Concorde was ever so extraordinary. It’s amazing how the program brought Britain and France even closer. We love you Captain Joe!
Joe, you almost brought tears to a grown man's eyes. The amount of passion and admiration when you talk about this plane and your related childhood memories is incredible. A rare thing on CZcams. I liked your videos before, but now I'm gonna subscribe due to your sheer dedication.
I love your goal/affirmation book! Glad to see you driven!!

I have an six year old son who is fascinated with the Concorde.Me,i remember Concorde mainly from the american movies of the '80s.We saw one last year at the Museum for Technique in Speyer,Germany.It was breathtaking.Now here i am watching videos about this incredible aircraft!
I was born and live in Reading and i remember our school assemblies being regularly interrupted by Concorde. It was one of the major things that fueled my love of aviation. Nothing not even a spitfire is more beautiful.
You've done a great job with this video series! I'm one of the volunteers at Brooklands on the Concorde team and you've even taught me facts I didn't know! Just make sure that if you're there next time to have a go on the sim!
Brilliant work Joe. I knew most of the technical facts already but what you do that is so amazing is reveal very interesting, little-known facts (like the one about JFK ATC letting Concorde jump the queue) that we can't learn about from anywhere else, thank you! As a suggestion for another historical aircraft, I would suggest the SR-71 Blackbird or the B2 Bomber, but if it's only commercial aircraft how about the TU-144?
I remember one day standing at a bus stop that was opposite the runway at Heathrow that runs alongside the A4, when Concorde taxi'd up for take off, I knew then I was in for a treat! When the pilot lit up the engines for take off, the bus shelter started to rattle, the fence started to rattle, I started to rattle! I watched as she sped down the runway, the orange glow of the engines afterburners carrying her skywards and off into the distance. Glorious :)
Be proud of yourself. What an aeroplane, wow to fly in it felt like taking off in a space rocket, and such a smooth flight as high as we went, it was amazing, that was in the cocorde
simulator with Captain Norris and I had a friend in British Aiways, so i was very lucky. Thank you Annie

There's another interview here with one of the cabin crew if you are interested czcams.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/video.html
This is the most remarkable and beautiful aircraft I've ever seen in my
life. So, bring her back to the sky where she "belongs."
thank you for the video capten
We have a Concorde on display in Seattle, and she is a beauty. What's more, she's in the same hanger in the Museum as many other of the best planes of all time including 747, 787, and an old Blue Angel. I'm so sad I never got to see one in flight. Thank you Captain for showing me a peek of what she looked and felt like in person.
This was probably the most informative and greatest celebration of this incredible plane ever. What a wonderful tribute, and so many previously unknown facts. We're so glad you created this 3 video series on this historic piece of engineering and art. Bravo!
Ohhhhhh! So when Phil Collins sang "The Air Tonight" He felt the roar of the Concord coming in to pick him up in the lyrics, "I can feel it coming in the air tonight." It all makes sense!
He just finished performing at Wembly Stadium in London, then flew on Concorde to Philly to perform ON the SAME day of the 1985 LiveAid Concert.
Thank you Captain Joe.
That was a fascinating visit with the most beautiful passenger aircraft ever made!
Wow. Your childhood memory of concorde almost gave me goosebumbs. My father worked in the now closed Westfalengeschader in Rheine/Hopsten as flight coordinating seargent and I was there on a open base day when I was 3. I probably still have the image of those F-4 Phantom performing low passes over the hangars and the whole atmosphere, the noise, the smell of jet fuel, somewhere in my subconcious, at least I really love low passing aircraft, sonic booms and that airfield atmosphere with its noise and smell... After the squadron closed my father changed to a desktop Job in the airforce, still drawing with flight operation, but far away from the acctual aircraft... so I can truely get what you feel about this plane.
Thanks for that story. I used to fly LHR-DUS a lot in the late nineties and the evening flight was right behind a Concorde on takeoff. The fiery compression waves as she starts the reheat, the thundering roar of the engines as she passed and the trembling of our own little Airbus are sights, sounds and feelings I'll never forget.
I remember at Heathrow where the Concorde taxied past the other aircraft for priority takeoff... I imagine this save a lot of fuel... But it added to the Concorde allure for passengers.
When I was living in London back in the 80's for my studies I used to see and hear Concorde every evening around 5 o'clock in London Sky. Most of the times I wasn't even looking up and I knew the Cocncorde was landing. What a fantastic roar the bird had. Shame that it is not in commission anymore.
My uncle Rex, who sadly passed away this year, worked on the VC10 and the Concord at Brooklands and Filton. I will never forget the 3 of them, they were all great in my mind.
Capt. Joe, thank you very much for the fantastic 3 part video of the Concorde! It was very enjoyable and I appreciate that you took the time to make the video and post it for the rest of us to enjoy.
4:07 "And once they've reached a gay position" subtitles Lmao
Lmao
Wtf 😭
I flew on Concorde twice! Whoo hoo!
Joe, you explained the Concorde flight process very well thanks , I remember seeing Concorde from my uncles back garden in Caversham of a morning, what noise and beauty!!, my best memory ..and it was entirely not planned, i was on my way to Southampton on a national express coach, one of the stops was Heathrow Airport, the coach used a runway perimeter road to get to the terminal, i was at the back of the Coach and i witnessed a Concorde on approach..it flew right over the coach at the right moment..i then saw the Concorde make a safe landing, now today i have a scale model in my living room in 1989 insignia staring back at me on the mantle piece .. oh what memories !
I remember being at school when the maiden flight of Concorde was shown on TV and the school got the TV out to show everyone so it must have been an occasion. I also did a project about her which i received a special credit for which was nice. The best thing however was I used to live in Colnbrook and the house was just outside the perimeter at the end of the runway. Twice a day at around 11 am and 5 p,m you could hear Concorde taxiing down the runway and taking off and then she flew over me and every day I was at home, without fail I would run out to see her taking off which was such a beautiful sight and never got old, plus it was amazing watching the afterburners in action and OMG that rumble was unmistakable. When she had taken off, you could hear loads of car alarms going off that Concorde had set off. I could watch that forever. Amazing.
Concorde: " the most beautiful airliner ever existed...". well said!
I'm the only one who would love a series like this for the tu-144 for comparing them? Pls Joe :D!
I am just an ordinary person - so I never flew on Concorde, but I remember the standard planes would all turn themselves on the taxiway so the passengers could watch Concorde take off. It was just so beautiful to watch and I could never get enough of watching. As a child, I lived in Kent, and we could hear the sonic boom, though it was always denied that this was possible, funny how that boom was always the same time.
Concorde was a beast - Car dealers around the Dulles Airport in Northern Virginia dreaded the take off of Concorde. That jet was so loud it set off car alarms on their car lots whenever it took off. That's a lot of noise and vibration to do that.
I love these three videos so much. You can really feel your enthusiasm about this beauty.
I'm really lucky that there's one Concorde and one Tupolev in the Technikmuseum Sinsheim here in Germany, just half an hour from my home :-)
PS: you're probably not gonna read this, but in case you go there, lemme know!!! :p
Dear Joe, I have been watching your videos from very first. Moreover In My channel I have been trying to create Aircraft videos(In my Language), Inspired from You. Keep creating this kinds of awesome videos. Thanks My Captain.
Droop snoot be like
Hahahahahahahahahahah droop snoot
I was driving a Miata with the top down, leaving Baltimore toward Western, MD. I must have heard the noise of the engines as I drove, because I looked up and on a most beautiful day I saw Concorde flying above me on descent into Dulles airport in the D.C. area.
What a sight. I'll never forget it.
I was production coordinator for the photographer Annie Leibovitz in NY during the year of 1992. At one point, she had a photo in NY one day and two days later another in Berlin early in the morning. She was scheduled to fly the night of the NY job, but it ran late, so I managed to book her last minute on Concorde the day after, so she could connect to Berlin from Paris, and to sleep in Berlin before the shoot (by the way, it was Wim Wenders for AmEx), so the Concorde served its function of helping people make money by arriving at their appointments in time slots normal planes couldn't possibly do. From this flight I still have a souvenir; a pocket sized Thesaurus with the word Concorde and the profile of the plane embossed on its cover. Flying her was easy. Splitting the crew, stylist and make up to go on regular flights one day before was the complex part
I was waiting for this video Joe! :)
In my opinion, it's also the most beautiful airliner ever built, that delta wing it's just so sexy ;)
Greetings Joe!!
I would like to see you fly the Concord Sim.
I remember seeing concord but I don’t recall the sound. What does stick with me was my first week out of trade training in the RAF when I was loading a lorry on a taxiway somewhere and 4 tornados took off in formation feet away. That was incredible. I hope concord had the same sound with her 4 engines. Great series captain joe.
Whowwwwww ! 1000 merci for these fantastic and so closed pilot experience on Concorde. A dream, a hope, a successful human story and the best beautiful plane ever built.
am I blind or where is the interview with that former concorde pilot?
czcams.com/video/i2gk_jetltY/video.html
Really enjoyed this series!👍
An outstanding series! I was actually a controller at JFK tower when the Concorde was flying (yes, I worked with “Kennedy Steve”). It was at times quite a challenge to work because of its unique requirements. It was also the only airplane you could actually hear from inside the tower cab!
Before that I was a controller in at the New York Center oceanic area (KZNY FIR). The Concorde had 3 oceanic tracks, one east one west and one overflow. I remember clearing them into their block altitude 500B550.
Captain Joe, thank you for this series. I must admit that on Ep. 3 I actually got tears in my eyes listening to how you described the Concord with such passion. I love your channel and I have learned so much. Thank you for the effort you make in telling us about your passion.
I have a airbus a380 model a boeing 747-8 a concorde a boeing 777 a airbus a340 all of my favorite planes also your the best captain joe
DC-3 please that is just a beautiful airplane.
I second that ! It is an airplane that made a revolution in the industry. And it still flies, even in passenger service. It's the most produced airliner, even if most of them not produced for airline service. It's so sturdy and easy and cheap to operate that some still fly commercially in regular passenger and cargo service, an unique feature for a 70 year old plane.
Furthermore, Basler aviation reconverts 70 year old airframes to turboprop, and rebuilds them so that these old handmade airframes are rated as "new"!
Think about that. Any other plane in commercial passenger service is scrapped after 30 Years, when this one can be rebuilt as new after 70 Years.
It's simply unique.
Third. DC-3 is arguably the most historically important airliner ever. Plus, it fought against the evil Nazis in World War II. And its such a good plane that its still in service today!
When I went to Florida and visited an aviation museum, there was a C-47 on display (military DC-3 from WWII), and it had D-Day invasion stripes. It turns out that it did participate in D-Day! But more impressively (and less surprising), I noticed it was being serviced... It was still airworthy and scheduled to fly the following week! Pretty cool!
I'm a millennial and all through my childhood nothing remarkable happened which would make up look up in the sky with wonder, events such as the maiden flight of concord or moon landing, it's only just now that projects like SpaceX have turned a corner.
I thank you very much for conveying such passion in the videos. :)
Excellent series, Joe! I saw Concorde take off in person in Colorado Springs in the summer of 1985. I stood at the end of the runway, and I'll never forget the tremors in my chest as it flew right over my head. So loud! What a thrill!!
Many thank's for this video about the most advanced airplane man has ever created. It'll be very interesting to do a story about the one and only An-225 that until the end they didn't believe that this monster can fly.....
Would be nice to see a tu-144 series to accompany this series of videos.
Most documentaries on tge Tu-144 are in Russian so would ve nice to have one in english.
There's a good 15 minute segment in a video called "Wings Over Continents Full Length," translated from Russian to English, it's brilliant. /watch?v=aw9tdN7KWmo&t=61s (Start at 33:49)
Lee Butterworth thanks
Watch the one about why you wouldn't want yo fly on the 144! A quarter of that fleet crashed!
Captain Joe, this probably the best documentary that I've seen on The Concorde. I wholeheartedly agree with all that you have said about her as she was something that I've been fascinated with since childhood as well. In the mid 70s (I can't remember when) The Concorde came to my island to take Queen Elisabeth back to the UK. In those days you could get fairly close to the runway and I will never forget the tremendous noise and how the earth shook when The Concorde took off. It was simply wonderful and I always thought that I would grow up to fly on her one day. In the early 2000s she would fly over my house every Saturday afternoon and I would run outside to see her go by. It is a tremendous shame that she no longer flies but BA did give one of The Concordes to our island and she sits inside a hanger museum in pristine condition. So in fact I did actually get to board The Concorde, a wonderful but equally teary eyed experience.
Thank you for showing the Concorde at the Golden Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II. That was one of the most beautiful thing I ever saw!
I guess the Olympus engines are as legendary as the Merlin engines was back in WW2, love them :) i am sad that i can't be able to fly with that remarkable plane
That sound.
Nothing is as legendary, or sounds as nice as a Merlin.
I vote for Tu-144 for for the next episode
Dear Captain Joe, I am a big fan of yours. Your enthusiasm and diligence inspire me. I was so impressed by your concise documentaries on Concorde, it brought me a bit of tears and much laughter especially when you mentioned the camel breading disturbing by the noise. Yes, I can see how beautiful it was. I hope she will come back flying but with less noise and I hope to fly in it!
Lovely series on an incredible aircraft. I only ever travelled on her after return to service, with a flight in 2002 and two more in 2003 just before retirement. I'm still so glad I did. Certainly right about the high temperatures... I once carried some fish back from Sweden via LHR to NYC on Concorde (that sounds almost ridiculous 15 years later) and asked the cabin crew please not to keep it too close to the doors in the galleys, as it could get really hot there!!! Of course they put it in ice for me and kept it someplace cool. Best crews in the skies anywhere.
great videos!!! :)
what about the antonov 225? the true beast
Thank you so much! I've been waiting for this one☺
My granddad flew in her through British Ariways. He gave me a glass coaster with the big "C". Sadly I lost it, but what I will never loose is the memory of my mother shouting @5:45 pm "Here comes the Concorde!!!" and the house windows would vibrate with the thunder of this white beautiful, slim work of art.
I watched your Concord video around 10 times now, and still shedding tears the 3rd part came, it was a huge leap back, i believe with our current technology we can make Concord better and safer
(I'm not British or French, i'm not an aircraft enthusiast either, i'm just so amazed with Concord technology)
Can you do a video about the De Havilland Comet and Bristol Britannia to continue this series?
Have a look at a documentary called 'When Britain Ruled the Skies'.
You motivate me to push and work harder and become a pilot! Thank you so much!
Canadian used to live in London. At 5:50 p.m. every Saturday, Concorde would land at Heathrow. My flat was steps from the highway (M40? A40?) and it flew along this highway as it came in for landing. It was so cool.
I've just spent about 30 minutes watching these three videos on Concorde, thank you; a lot of trouble; a lot of work; absolutely brilliant., I've seen quite a number of your other videos, but challengingly; I have not previously encountered your Concorde videos, and as one who flew for British Airways from 1966 to 1973 I would not have expected to learn so very much; so a very big thank you. :)
there is a vulcan bomber still flying . Concordes military sister aircraft.
No, there isn't. XH558 was grounded ages ago.
No Vulcan has since been retired from flying.
A380 would be nice, Thanks Joe for all your work, all the best fro you :)
With all the advancement in aviation technology, all the breakthrough in materials, engines, avionics, noise reduction, fuel management, computers and more, i don't understand why we still don't have a nice successor of the Concord. Clearly, not for profit, but for mankind to admire all the advancement in almost 110 years of Aviation history. Excellent video series, the Concord my all time favorite Airplane. Congrats Joe.. Congrats... Greeting from Panama.
Such an amazing aircraft. I used to go watch Concorde when I was young when the pilots trained at Prestwick Airport. They would do touch and goes all day and I’m sure the pilots used to show off for all the spectators. The best flight I heard of was New Year’s Eve in London listened and watched Big Ben Happy New Year then taxi to airport and Concorde to JFK then taxi to Time Square and watched the ball drop for another New Year. I always wished I could have done that.
Hey Joe, 747 next please ? :)
Hey there random scrolling person! Have fun on your way down. :)
Benedek Nagy what if I’m coming back up

Benedek Nagy ty
Thanks
I'm blown away by this airplane. Thanks for enlightening me about this amazing plane my generation missed out on.
Thanks Joe for these videos I saw Concorde flying many times but sadly never flew on her....however seeing Concorde take off on reheat right above your head is out of this world and literally blows you away! I'll never forget it for sure :-) For anyone out there its really worth watching John Hutchinson's full interview on CZcams, his life story in aviation is amazing and he tells it with such passion. I've watched it at least five times so far!
