- View of a British Airways Concorde landing on Runway 18 at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI. Unique, close-up perspective from the ground, west of Runway 18, near the touchdown zone.
Could be from AirVenture 1988, 1990, 1994, or 1998.

Not many people can say they have been this close to a Concorde in flight. Incredible footage.
I feel very fortunate to have seen the Concorde in person in mid 90s I believe..I heard in news that the Concorde was coming to Tampa airport! I rushed down to Tampa and saw it do like in this video an international flyby..but to my horror..I forgot my camera!😮😭
..specially when I saw on tv that a pilot said that the last 7 seconds before touchdown "everyone is a passenger"...
Flew over my house twice a day everyday until it retired….on take off it was far far louder than this.
I have. Lived 9 miles from Heathrow, would go plane spotting
I would have been French fried
Still the most beautiful thing to ever fly.
Timeless!
Agreed!
100%
Maybe the SR-71
@@bringbackdeano agreed Black bird takes the cup.
I'm 44 now. I was lucky enough to be there to see this absolutely perfect machine this day. One of it's last flights i believe. One of my most memorable moments in life with my dad. I love Oshkosh! Such a great experience😊
Not it's last flight. This is before 1999 and after 1985
What a beautiful bird technology at its best
2:04 Hats off to Concorde!
I see what you did there!
Literally
I agree - nothing even close to this in our lifetime will come
That was one badass bird! Raw power and elegant beauty all at the same time.
So easy to fall in love with the Concorde
Epic landing...sad that this amazing plane no longer flies
Even now it still looks like something from the future.
maybe it will 'RETURN' one day, when they realise it couldn't be improved?
Best seats in the house, what a great experience to be so close👍
Most beautiful aircraft ever built.
I saw the Concorde there in '94 I think. Didn't realize as a kid how big of a deal it was at the time.
how you were all permitted to position that close is fortunate but i doubt that would be acceptable today. but that's incredible footage of this landing!
Before 9/11 and especially in the 1980s you could just stand on the runway embankment or the tarmac and record planes. The same way you record trains today you could do at the airport. Rural airports you could just sit out there in a motorhome and nobody cared as long as you weren't impeding traffic or making a hazard.
You can still get pretty close to the runway at Oshkosh, but there are boundaries now that are a good bit farther back. Volunteers (e.g. parking marshalers) still get to hang out this close. If you really wanted to and were willing to put in the work as a volunteer, it's still possible to get this close.
Miss you Concorde 😥
I was there in 1994 and saw it land. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were also there that year. My pictures with them is one of my most cherished.
I flew on this in 1995 and it was the best experience of my life, particularly take off.
Why,oh why are they no longer in our skies?
They were so far ahead of their time.
Christopher Fisher - had the europeans designed Concord for 200 pax, it may have survived the fuel and environmental restricrions of the times. America didnt buy any for their own sour grapes attitude. Yanx could put a man on the moon, but couldnt get near Concords intro into actual service.
Yes, they were ahead of their time for the late 1960s and early 1970s, but by 1990s their avionics were becoming out of date, as was so much else about them. BA had designed interior upgrades and avionics were upgraded, but the basic airframe and engines were getting towards the end of their service life. Don't forget a supersonic airframe has a much shorter service life than sub-sonic, due to the extra stresses from repeated heating and cooling. Yes, a magnificent aircraft, but now well past their use-by date.
Richard British Airways had costed the upgrade of Concorde's avionics to what is called a 'glass cockpit' but they decided against it because the cost involved would never be recovered in the life of the aircraft. But the older analogue gauges were still reliable and they still worked well up until she was retired. The engines could always be replaced so that wasn't a factor either. Aircraft engines are frequently replaced. And the people who maintained Concorde at BA Maintenance in Cardiff and Heathrow loved her and looked after her. No other aircraft in BA's fleet was looked after more than the Concorde fleet. And while flying supersonic does put more stress on an airframe, Concorde was still good for another 10 to 15 years flying at the time she was retired. It was finance and politics that finished her. As an aircraft, she was still completely sound.
Anthony Tolhurst was never a design problem or emissions problem: they who kill the Concorde was the US government in 1973, only jealousy...

Really! 35 yr killing then, amazing it would take that long. That's a good service life for any airliner even without the DEATH SQUADS.
I saw Concorde performance at the 1986 Abbotsford international airshow... Fantastic to see her in flight in real life.
Can anything top that, maybe only the Vulcan. Truly amazing. Really wish I could see this today☹
I’d imagine a TU-160 would be even more impressive from that range. Also the XB-70 if it wasn’t a museum piece lol.
It always amazes me to see Concorde at locations in the US where she was enthusiastically received by the American folks there. Did any of them ever realise that their own aviation industry and the then government had worked insidiously behind the scenes across the globe exerting their influence far and wide to ensure that this beautiful aeroplane was never a commercial success for its manufacturer and would never pose a threat to the US aviation industry. The most perfect karma however was that it’s manufacturer later became AIRBUS, and in recent years rather than compete on the basis of design and innovation, Boeing decided to cut corners and adapt old design, read...MAX 8 😎
Meh. Sonic booms over land was never a commercially viable business model. Meaning Concorde would only ever fly over oceans and it couldn't fly Pacific distances so you're basically looking at Atlantic only routes. The government didn't kill it through insidious means, it was dead on arrival. Additionally the flying public voted for cheaper over faster and preferred slower jumbos over more expensive supersonic planes. It was only for well-healed business travellers. It was an incredibly niche aircraft and when it got older it was simply to expensive to keep flying.
not really, they made an experiment to see if people would have been able to endure sonic booms on a daily basis and found out that people didn't like it so the ban over populated areas was born
WEll the military get away with it Daily. @@jonathan_careless
@@jonathan_carelessSour grapes..
@@TheLRider Facts over feelings....
I used to see Concorde flying over Bristol several times a day, and my god , she was beautiful..
SHE'S NOW IN A NICE NEW MUSEUM AT FILTON BRISTOL OR AT LEAST G--BOAF IS.
I live 12 miles south of Bristol, and on the day she was returnig home for the last time, I kept going outside to see if I could hear her. i not only heard her, but could see her intermittently, circling over Bristol in the far distance. Later, on the TV news, I saw her make that fanatastic low flight over Brunels Clifton Suspension Bridge. The picture was shown all over the world, one of history's greatest.
I quite agree with you---oh, thanks.

Pls bring back this awesome bird with improved safety gadgets - the design is simply marvelous. Want it back!!!
You go that right...
For now, a model must be enough for us. czcams.com/video/HfnIdSV_4vo/video.html
The problem is there isn’t enough folks that want to ride on it to justify the expense. I had a chance to ride on it in the 90s for $500. I turned it down.
Bassy, improved safety gadgets would not be required. Concorde had a perfect safety record. The only crash was 100% pilot error.
@@PenzancePete I don't think so. Pilots was very experienced and often tested. On runway was some metal debris from other plane (I think from DC 10) and on landing gear missed spacer pad between wheel.
truly a magnificent aircraft
just damn awesome
joseph sampson III that was the French men and captain labonte he was legendary
tu seras et restera toujours le meilleurs des avions c est un français qui te le dit je vous salue Mrs concorde
There was no Concorde pilot named LaBonte you idiot. Quit talking bullshit lol
I'd give anything to have witnessed that!
The amount of downwash and vortices at that angle of attack is amazing
The Concorde, also known as the Concord, was one of the jewels of technology in the aviation sector. This legendary supersonic aircraft was an icon of speed, luxury, and innovation. Designed and built in the 1960s, the Concorde represented a monumental engineering challenge, bringing together advanced aerospace technologies to achieve speeds exceeding Mach 2, or more than twice the speed of sound.
Among its most impressive features was the ability to travel from New York to London in just over three hours, making transatlantic business trips possible in a single day. Additionally, the Concorde offered a first-class service, with luxurious cabins and an unparalleled travel experience. However, despite its status as a symbol of technological progress and prestige, the Concorde was ultimately retired from service in 2003, primarily due to financial and safety issues. Nevertheless, its impact on the history of aviation and the perception of technology remains significant, leaving behind a legacy of innovation and daring.
Beautiful bird. That and the Avri Vulcan!❤
I remember as a kid when Concord both Air France and British Airways used to have a Training base in Shannon Airport Co Clare Ireland.A quite Airport with just shy of 2 miles of a Runway so it was the perfect Airport for it and a space over the Atlantic for the New Crews being brought online to practise.Nearly every year with out fail Concord would Arrive at Shannon Airport.All day long doing touch and goes.Alway a sight to behold.Days long gone.😢
Should never have discontinued this amazing plane
Or at least keep one of them in Flying order and only use it for airshows and research.
@@realtalk1310 it was too costly and the average person couldn't afford to even fly on this. Even a flying museum couldn't accept enough enough donations to keep one in airworthiness
Virgin offered to buy the BA fleet but that was rejected out of hand. They didn’t want Virgin stealing the limelight.
@@bunkerboy02 I think that was a Branson PR stunt. If BA had called his bluff and offered to sell them, he'd have wriggled out of it somehow. It was already impossible to run such an ageing and thirsty plane at anywhere near a profit back then - today it would be a huge money pit and, anyway, it was due to be phased out around now (2022) anyway. That said, it was by a million miles the most beautiful thing in the sky, and it's a great shame that nothing has come close to taking its place.
@arthurpewtey Arrive before you take off was an amazing selling point
I don’t know how you got so close to the runway and I am jealous! What amazing footage that is. A beautiful plane which still eclipses anything out there in terms of speed or shape. Thank you for posting.
I like the sound of the thrust reversers operating.
My favorite sight is the landing.
Yes. It is awesome & still very beautiful.
I was lucky enough to make parts for engine that also went in the Vulcan 🇬🇧🇬🇧🥰👍
Incredible machine !!! ❤️❤️
Eagle of the sky😍
Concorde, la beauté du ciel.
My first love. ✈️
Remarkable filming.
This is amazing footage. Concorde was very loud, being that close must have been also deafening.
People living around Londons Heathrow Airport, and in it's track, miss it still.
The most elegant machine ever!
I’m lucky enough to have flown on Concorde. Awesome
0:53 it's so loud that even the video starts distorting
Absolutely incredible… one of the best videos on CZcams😁👍🏼
That laugh 😂
BEAUTIFUL!!!🥰🇺🇲 Been to Osh Kosh before but NEVER saw that!!!🥰🇺🇲🥰🇺🇲🥰🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
A M A Z I N G!!!
She still looks beautiful landing and flying. Wow!!!
Brilliant video. Thanks for posting
That was freaking awesome!
I saw her take off some times in Rio in the late 70's...❤❤❤
IT
That was awesome !!!
That thing looked like it had the glide ratio of the Space Shuttle, yet it's just as amazing, and just "plane" beautiful.
That is insane. What an experience those people must have had. 😮
Beautiful
What a beauty !
This Machine is Alive. Like a Dragon. Truly Amazing!
Exellent video. Concorde is art.
YEP---ART & Technology combined.
Hats off to that beauty.
Magnifique la plus belle réalisation de la main de l homme, une pure merveille
Magnificent.
Still the most beautiful aircraft,
This footage is awesome.
Most beautiful plane to ever fly
Amazing !
Majestic!!!
Just, WOW!
Miss this graceful old bird SO MUCH. Luckily I have a static one on display near me at Brooklands....
Never knew she went to Oshkosh......... I wanna go visit now... :)
i live in nyc so i have the one next to the intrepid
@@tyreekmurillo4524 Nice one Tyreek. Had my first trip to the states last year and we had a long weekend in NYC but didn't realise there was a Concorde there until we got back - was a sad bunny.....
John McGuire haha. it’s called the intrepid sea air & space museum. has an aircraft carrier and a submarine as well as the concorde. been there numerous times since i was a kid
One of the best moments in aviation fan history is at 2:04!
I was at Oshkosh when Concorde came to the show! It was awesome. If I remember correctly, they were giving short rides for $400
poetry in motion
Probably the coolest up close experience ever 😎
Wow! That's fan f-ing tastic... Great video!!
2:04 Hat: Ight imma head out
She was one loud and Dirty Bird and proud of it🕶
Jaurai aimé que tous les Concordes sortent de leur musée et reprennent du service, ça serait tellement merveilleux de les revoir dans leurs milieux naturels au plus près des cieux 🛫.
Belle séquence vidéo, merci du partage 😊
I heard them fly over London years ago. So recognisable, like some huge machine in the air. Nothing else had that sound, loud but precise like lots and lots of Singer sewing machines.
'A Machine in the air' Well thats original.
Love the way Concorde said to the lady. Moooveee you're going to mess up the video of me landing 😂 2:04
What a superb video though. Thanks for uploading 👏🏼
El mejor del aire!
Possibly one of the best aviation videos on CZcams…. Bar NONE!
SO----THEE best aviation vid on YT?
I remember being close to a 727 landing in Cape Girardeau airshow, in the late 90s
Awesome!
Awesome video!!!!! Thanks
That was so funny to watch, it must have felt really strange !
That Concorde moment..
What a plane
This, and the SR-71 are the most beautiful birds to ever fly.
And the B-2.
and xb70
And the Bristol Boxkite. @@marthurfarquois2985

Concorde precisa voltar voar. É o mais belo de todos os aviões.
What a magnificent piece of aviation. So sad that Concord is no longer with us.
But it makes me damm proud to be British.
2:03 boom. The lady 👒cap flying in the air 😂😂😂
Jjajajajajajjajajaajajjajaja 😂😂😂😂😂😂
So so so ahead of the rest
THAT A VERY GOOD VIDEO
Lovely bird! Thanks for sharing the vid.
Baddass.... long live Concorde!!!!
La prima volta i piloti nel vedere questi in mezzo al pista, hanno pensato bene di riattaccare, poi la torre evidentemente.... ma dico, questi erano a bordo pista, incredibile.
With the decommissioning of the Concorde, mankind took a big step backwards in terms of technology and advancement..
Maravilhoso.
how the f close could you get? :O this is pretty crazy
The Rolling Stones were making classic songs for fun, David Bowie writing the soundtrack for an international generation & men with compasses & slide rules designing & building this plane! We lost empires, we lost the above but are still.... just..... Great Britain!
Deep Heat engineers had commercial computers from the late 1950s.
Never mind that it’s 50% French, eh?
@@northernorganist7074
Hmm.... maybe by literal interpretation of the agreement but in reality it was a British project including the engines which were really RR *"Olympus."*
Unfortunately , we are being destroyed by treacherous idiots , who should be imprisoned.
Such a rambling indictment that we don’t have supersonic travel these days. We lost our muchness. A shame.
ATC guiding a Cessna: "Ok Cessna, you're going to lift your nose, and land on the blue dot. Welcome to Oshkosh."
ATC guiding a Concorde: "Ok Concorde, you're going to droop your snoot, and land on the blue doot. Welcoome to Ooshkoosh."
Lmao...
