Amazing, thank you for all the details!

Wow, a great show for those in line for the 04L departure if you guys were using 22R!

Concorde had landing limits on all JFK runways, but, at least in my experience, the others were rarely, if ever, used.
By the 31R approach was right by my first home in the NYC area....alas some 10yrs after a Concorde last ever flew it, sadly. My father took the subsonic BA001 shortly after I moved to NYC and I would leave my place when I saw it come over and he'd be through baggage claim by the time I got to T7
