This guy vlogging in 2002. He saw the future

My aunt got to fly the Concorde, just by chance. She volunteered to give up her seat for someone on her Air France flight (Paris to NYC) and was told she’d be put on the next flight out. When she got on the plane she thought it was a bit small, and didn’t realize she was on the Concorde till they announced they were supersonic. She made it to New York before her original flight landed.

It's crazy how every video from the 2000's now looks like it was filmed in the 80's

Seeing the 747s everywhere and the Concorde... this really was the golden age of commercial aviation.

In the 90’s I used to travel with my father on business trips with him between New York and London and we flew on Concord 3 times in one year. I feel lucky that I was able to experience it.

The ultimate social media flex. Neither Sam Chui or Casey Nesistat can top this video. Thank you for sharing it with us.

3 hours from London to New York just incredible

Wow! I really enjoyed watching this. You are lucky to have experienced it and well done for producing this (extremely early) Vlog!

56,000 feet 1250 mph! That must have been spectacular. I wish I could have experienced that just once.

3.5 hours of flight time instead of 7 ! This was a beast and what we have today can't compare!

I got goosebumps when he said we are breaking the sound barrier and flight attendant just walking like nothing. What a freaking beauty of an aircraft. They need to bring this plane back.

3 hours 25 mins! That’s impressive.

Hi there….absolutely fantastic coming across your video! I was the stewardess on her first Concorde flight in your video! I have lots of photos but not much video footage so this has brought back so many amazing memories of Concorde. Thank you for posting this …Kind regards, Anita.

Just imagine Concorde taking off in St. Marteen, all the people in Maho beach will be blown out on the sea

As a spouse of a British AIrways employee, I was offered a one-time opportunity to fly on the Concorde for only $300. I jumped at the chance. Great ride. I hope technology advances to the point where planes like that are viable again.

This man deserves an award for this video. Thank you sir!

Amazing insight into this futuristic aircraft which is now part of aviations past. That landing was a hard one that surprised me. On the takeoff roll I could not stop thinking of how DC10 metal debris on the runway from the most infamous aircraft destroyed the most iconic aircraft ever made. It really feels like international flying has gone backwards once Concorde was grounded forever.

The most elegant and most graceful aircraft ever made. What a tragic end to an amazing era of aviation and an incredible aircraft.

I wish the concorde would still be around. Not only the most fascinating aircraft there is, but also the most beautiful

The video that is been taken is the golden age of aviation❤❤❤❤

Great video, here it's 2020 and I can't believe the world does not have service like this anymore

look at that "slow lumbering subsonic plane down there" XD

Concorde and 747 were the peak of aviation! I'm so sad I didn't get the chance to see Concorde and travel by it in person. She will be forever my fav aircraft.

Newspapers, few mobile devices, laptops. Just living life as it presents itself. What an amazing flight. My cousin flew in Concorde and he always told me stories. Nice to see it from a video perspective. Thanks!

My Dad flew the Concorde from JFK to Paris every other month or so ..I still have the Concorde Blanket my Dad kept Miss them both

I was lucky enough to fly on this beautiful aircraft in 1994. Cut crystal glasses, silver cutlery and trips to the flight deck! And yes, you CAN see the curvature of the earth at cruising altitude! The swan of the skies - still brings tears to my eyes watching her fly

I grew up in Surrey, England not far from London, so Concorde flying over wasn't unusual. But we always, always, stopped and looked. It was just one of those marvellous things. It was very prescient of you to film all of this!

WOW that takeoff. Really puts into perspective just how much faster Concorde needed to go to takeoff compared to subsonic jets. I was only a newborn when you were on this flight, but my mum told me stories of how she worked near London Heathrow, and would always hear Concorde land at 6 pm. Sometimes it took an alternative flight path and would fly over her apartment at 6 am. Thank you for sharing this footage!

A great video! No narration, added music, or anything unnecessary. I wish more videos were like this.

2023 and I still get goosebumps during that take off.

Great historical record. So sad that they stopped even if it was out of reach for most people they were amazing to see and hear in the sky. As a kid they would turn in a massive loop over south London where we grew up, they were like ten times louder and we’d all run outside as kids shouting “ concord, concord !” This was my whole childhood this went on. We sae my sister off to Australia from Heathrow in 1993 and whilst waiting for her flight to leave from the viewing platform three concords took off in a row! A minute apart max. It must have been a rare occurrence, I’d never seen more than one in the sky before.

I had the extreme privilege of flying one way, from JFK to LHR once on this magnificent lady, when visiting my family here in the UK. Took me a while to save up but I wanted to do it just once. It was an unforgettable experience and one that will always remain with me. It’s a pity she’s grounded, as with all the innovations and improvements now, I’m sure people would still be queuing up in today’s age to fly on her.

This is a historically significant video and is so appreciated. I think it shows a more accurate representation of take-off speed than any other Concorde video I've seen. Also the funny thing I noticed most was the broadsheet newspapers, it really dates the video beautifully :)

Not ground fog on takeoff, but low pressure condensation from the wings producing lift.

My boss at the time back in the late 80s, treated 4 of us a return flight back to the U.K. from NY ,after 4 nights in New York we thought we was flying back on a similar plane we went on until we went through the departure lounge and it said Concorde , It seemed a very short flight back to what we was used to and the service was just amazing.

I was fortunate to fly on Concorde in 1995. Yep, the take-off was quick and the landing just as fast! Thank you for the video. Brought back great memories!

Fantastic video. You're a lucky man. :) The closest I got was seeing it land at Farnborough airshow back in 1998. :)

I flew on the Concorde once shortly after the service started. I flew in December 1977 from London to NYC. I had a return ticket on British Airways and on a whim, I called to see if I could be upgraded to the Concorde and - voila!! It was a wonderful flight and I’m so glad I did it. I loved every minute of it.

Thanks for sharing! I went once in 2000, Mach 2 and 58000 feet, totally amazing

Such a gem that someone actually recorded this during that period before we even had smartphones. It gives a unique perspective when you actually see what people do and eat and the ones that actually paid this massive cash for these flights.

This for me is where commercial aviation truly peaked. Thanks for sharing such an amazing experience with us :)

Amazing video detailing what it was like to fly on the world:s fastest airplane

I remember playing golf at Doral back in the 90's some time, and a Concorde was on approach to Miami International and everyone on the course stopped to watch it. It was a beautiful sight.

Thank you so much for this. As a child my holiday was the plane flight. I never got the chance to fly on Concorde but I used to monitor it's approach over London on radio as she came in to land along the Thames. Dad and I used to sit on top of the Queens building at Heathrow with a sandwich or two and be amazed. Love you Dad.

As someone who was born in the early 80's and lived in the south east of England in the 90's and early 00's I always remember when it went overhead on its way to land at Heathrow, sometimes circling in a holding pattern. We would stop playing football in the street to look up and watch it. You knew it was coming because of the noise it made was unlike anything else and we'd see who could be the first to spot it. After it left we'd go back to playing football. Once I was with my dad on the m25 early one morning, a cold, Crisp, clear day and concorde came right over the top with it's after burners glowing. I'll never forget it, I can't believe we just took it for granted. Happy times

I remember landing at Birmingham airport on Concorde, there were many people lined up just to watch her land. Very special. A privilege to have experienced it.

Thank you for this video, my mother flew on Concorde, she was so thrilled! She has long since passed, but you have helped me relive one of her memories! Thank you again!

In 1986 I was aboard one of several monthly Air Jamaica Charters to Montego Bay (2 hours from New York). Only 900 dollars including first class return on 747 first class (upper level). I will never forget the swooping between clouds at high speed over Jamaica. Passengers were invited to visit the cockpit mid-flight. The air port was jammed with hundreds of people there to greet and see the plane. We debarked via stairs and I got a picture under the nose of the plane with the crowded observation deck to the side. That and watching the WTC towers fall with my own eyes might be the two most memorable moments of my life.

This guy was ahead of the whole travel vlog wave by about 10 years haha😂great that this is captured

Very civilized flight, no screaming ,no fights, and of course caviar with wine, nice.

As a ground engineer on the Concorde it was a great thing getting her ready for each flight

This must be one of the first video flight reviews! Fascinating to see the stewardess nonchalantly wandering down the aisle serving drinks as the aircraft pushes through the sound barrier!

To be able to witness breaking the sound barrier and hitting twice the speed of it in such comfort would be unreal.

Oh my, that brought back memories. I flew on this beautiful bird with BA in May of ‘90 JFK/Heathrow and then back 10 days later. The experience was mesmerizing and I still have the complementary travel gifts. Also the spread at JFK pre flight was over the top. I feel lucky to have been on these incredible planes back then and will never forget the experience.🎉 Thanks for the video and a trip down memory lane!

Only flew on it once, was trembling with excitement for the entire trip. Quite unforgettable!

Thanks for posting. Just flew Concorde while having a bath.

I wish I had flown Concorde at least once.

I used to live not far from Heathrow as a boy, the Concorde would fly over us on its way back from the US. I always wanted to fly in it, this is as close as i'll get - thank you

love the guys with newspapers like it's no big deal

My grandpa used to fly the Concorde regularly, back in his glory Business days. He would fly the Mex to CDG via Washington route. He flew so much that on many occasions he would be the only passenger onboard the service.

I was a Nurse at Kingston on Thames hospital which was under Heathrow flight path, working on the 2nd floor. Use to see Concorde fly over at least once a week depending on shifts. If I heard Concorde and was giving a bedbath I would hurriedly cover my patient, excuse myself & rush to the windows to see her fly over. Wonderful sight. Another time flew in from Africa and saw 3 Concordes lined up @ Heathrow, sadly never got to fly in her but happy memories.

That was the future, now that future is in our past. A beautiful plane.

Mad to think that we actually went backwards when we had such a marvellous piece of engineering

Have never flew on Concord but fortunated to fly on Soviet supersonic Tu-144 in late 70th. It was amazing experience

I flew Concorde with my mother on a trip to Paris in 97. I'll never forget the interior and how small I thought it was. I'll also never forget the exquisite food and beverage served on the flight with impeccable service. The next time I was reunited with one of them was on a trip to Seattle where she sat at the Boeing Air Museum. She could have kept flying, but I know all good things must end. There will be another!

Iconic ending to your video the way the plane disappears into the shadow.

As a kid I looked in awe at the futuristic aircraft portrayed in the TV Show "The Thunderbirds", ruling out the possibility those amazing machines could exist for real.... I'd say the Concorde got pretty damn close 😉 This video is an amazing tribute to one of the most fascinating chapters in aviation history. Sadly I can vividly remember the news images on the day a Concorde perished over France and it all came to a grinding halt. Luckily the legend still lives on in memories like this. Thank you

I remember hearing this plane at 7 am everyday taking off from jfk as a kid the noise it made was one of a kind it was just so nostalgic

Damn I knew Concorde was fast, But London to New York in 16mins is INSANE!

Thanks, this brought back great memories of our flight to New York on Concord in May 1992 🥰

damn....that newspaper at the beginning dated this perfectly lol now it would be people on their phones lol

Concorde at Match 2: smooth flight My Airbus A320 in Flight Simulator at 280 knots: OVERSPEED OVERSPEED OVERSPEED

I took 6 flights on the Concorde. I loved every minute of it

I miss Concorde so much😢

My great grand mother lived in Inwood and i used to sit on her roof and watch planes land on 31 left. I loved seeing and feeling the Concorde. Miss my great grandmother and i miss JFK. 😢 now i live in Alabama wtf lol

Thank you SO much for this! This video is now such a huge piece of history! Many of us dont film things because we assume it will be like this forever.. Or it will not be special.. Then things happen which make things you thought were not too important become VERY important .

Thank you , Kevin . Every time I see it , I get deeply moved to tears ! I am an aviation expert , but that experience was too extraordinary !

Precious piece of aviation history! Glad you’ve filmed it!

That thing was an absolute weapon!!

I knew they were fast, but i did not expect 1200mph lol, thats insane!

What an absolutely gorgeous video 😃 attentive to details and letting us "born-too-late" fly with this stunning plane once again.

Aviation took a major step back when it got rid of the Concorde. Not everyone wants to sit on a transatlantic flight for 6-8 hours.

Stunning to see footage of our best aircraft in action. 👍👍👍🇬🇧

11am every day at school in the 90s I'd hear this beautiful plane take off from Heathrow, heading to JFK. It was very strange when they stopped.

Wow can’t believe 21 years have passed by. Great video.

What an aircraft, a legend forever. The river scene felt quite poignant. My favourite aircraft forever ❤❤❤

Great video, so sad to see her go! To think that we have no supersonic transport today is shocking

u guys litterally makes me cry.......... u guys are travelling in mach 2, faster than the rotation of earth, n in a spacecraft stuff, can see the curvature of earth, travelling through ozone layer, can reach the time before u departed, travelling in the engineering wonder before 50 yrs from now .....big salute to those engineers...

Thanks for uploading this wonderful historic footage. It's not often you find such detail of the experience.

The shadow through the cabin during supersonic transition was amazing

🔴 WOW AWESOME THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO 🙋‍♂️👍👍

crazy to see people looking at newspapers as much as people looking at their phones

What a dream, unfortunately we’ll never seen a thing like this again

I'm crying, what an experience that you lived

I couldn't imagine sitting in Concorde reading a newspaper. The entertainment is the plane

In the 1980's my parents and I did the one way on the Concorde and return by Cunard's QE2.....it was incredible.

Not only is she incredibly fast but an object of beauty, on a par with any work of art. A beauty pure of function as well as form. There will never be another, she's one of a kind.

This was a true engineering marvel

an amazing aircraft - well ahead of its time, and nothing has yet to replace her and it's 2023.

This was a real gem of a video. I’ve not seen another like this so far so thanks! Like many others I truly wish I could have experienced this myself.
