1 or 2 Concorde questions

Coupla questions on Concorde for those who know...

1: How loud was the sonic boom on the ground on track and at cruise?

2: How far either side of track could it be heard under average conditions?

3: At what points in altitude and distance travelled did it normally pass through mach 1?

4: During what parts of the flight regime was reheat used?

5: In a normal trans Atlantic trip, how much of its fuel had it consumed to get to cruising altitude?

Like most of us I'm sorry to see it go. Worse is that with no replacement, the many lessons learned cannot be applied. The knowlege is lost.

After an excellent landing you can use the airplane again!
