Concorde BA002 departing JFK for the last time (video)
I thought fellow Concorde lovers might like to see this video an American friend sent me.
It was filmed by one of the JFK ATCO's standing at the side of the runway, and shows Concorde lining up, departing and climbing out over Jamaica Bay towards the Atlantic.
The roar of the engines is loud - you may want to adjust your speakers.
It's a big file which takes some time to load, but well worth the wait. It will stream on broadband but you may want to download and save it, especially if you're on dial-up.
6:23, Dolby Stereo Surround Sound 5.1, 1Mb video quality, 44Mb file.
Concorde
And, in case anyone missed the BBC coverage (different Concorde) at LHR ..........
LHR
Edit
I've had many e-mails telling me the 'Concorde' link is occasionally suspended. I assume we're overloading the server.
Try this alternative - same video:

I've finally had a chance to download and watch the JFK mini clip and found it was absolutely superb.
Perhaps the cameraman was shaking a little and perhaps his panning and zooming was a little wobbly (I'm sure we would all do the same in the circumstances) but it captured the atmosphere of the occasion perfectly and the ATC banter was the ideal commentary.
thanks very much for putting it here for our enjoyment.
The clip of the LHR arrivals was great too!

Right-click on the link in Flying Lawyers first post, and save it to disk. If you've already streamed it, it might take no time at all to save... warning, this advice comes from a Mac user!!

Here's another video, this one filmed by a refueller at Kennedy.
The picture quality isn't quite as good as the first video posted, but it still captures the atmosphere of the day very well.
Sound quality is good, blending in the final goodbyes between ATC and Concorde. The audio continues after the pictures stop.
Goodbye BA SST

Well done FL,
I managed to shoot 2 rolls of film on Friday, and watch the BBC2 coverage (recorded) without crying.
Then I spend 3 hours downloading the 1st video, and the shot of Concorde sitting at the end of the runway at JFK awaiting clearance has me crying!
If you are on dial-up, i.e. 1p a minute and you're not sure if to download or not - do it! You will not be disappointed.
Many thanks FL, a sad sad day, please thank your friend for making this footage available to us all.

Another video, filmed from the other side of the water from the first one posted.
Distant shot of the take-off, but good shot of Concorde climbing out. The quality is good enough for full-screen.
It's short and shouldn't take too long to download on dial-up connections.

I've been asked to point out that, for best results, all videos should be allowed to load fully before playing. (Thanks Brian G.)
