It did indeed, although I have to say that the most impressive thing about any Concord flight (pedant mode/it's Concord, not Concorde/pedant mode off) was the reverse thrust on landing which was like hitting a brick wall. The rest of the flight was much like any other pax jet other than the fact you could see the curvy contours of the planet at altitude. And you were well lubricated with quality shampoo.
