Bragging: on 28 October 1986 I flew Concorde JFK to Heathrow in 3h16m for price of...$250! As a courier, while that was still possible.
One week ago, 13 October 2003, I finally saw it fly from the outside, standing next to the water in Howard Beach, Queens, for JFK takeoff.
Concorde is a *hot rod*.
Watching regular jets take off, followed by Concorde, is like watching government bureaucrats drive by in their Plymouths, followed by James Bond in his Ferrari.
