Many thanks to NineEighteen for the link to the AF departure JFK! Wow, very fine.

Whilst we are on the subject of the beautiful bird ... I was browsing the BA Celebrating Concorde website and noticed this about the reheat: "This adds fuel to the final stage of the engine to produce the extra power required for take-off and the transition to supersonic flight."

Dredging what I recall from many moons ago, I thought that re-heat was required to sustain supersonic flight? This statement indicates that, once at her cruise, the reheat is no longer needed?

I'm just getting my facts right as my own trip is only 18 days away. Yikes!
