Was curious myself. Maybe a freudian slip to do with the destinaton? For those that are interested [incomplete transcript]

Approach: "Boeing Alpha Golf is two from [???] turn right heading zero two zero cross assault[?] at 3000 [??] runway 31 left approach."

AG reads back as "Concorde Alpha Golf..."

Approach: "Boeing Alpha, err... [chuckling] Concorde Alpha Golf contact Kennedy tower one one niner point one, you fellas take care"

AG reads back as "Boeing Alpha Golf".

Tower / AG dialogue was simply "Alpha Golf".

then

Tower: "What are you guys doing in that concorde today?"

AG: "What, apart from having fun?"

AG: "Ummm...We're stopping here enroute to Seattle. The aeroplane is going to go live in Bo... well not the Boeing, the museum of flights yeah."
