The only commercial jet to turn heads. I remember back in the 90's as we were waiting in line to take off. Our pilot says on the loud speakers "if you look to the right you'll see the Concorde taking off." It's like an exotic car driving down the road or a space rocket launch guaranteed head turns.

I remember working at LHR for 3 years, and every day around 11am it used to depart for NYC. Literally most of the airport stopped to watch it take off, and you'll probably never see again the same numbers of "bird watchers" around the perimeter road and surrounding car parks at this time. I lived locally too, and at around 7pm it used to come in to land and you could hear the reverse thrusts about 2 miles away :) What an aircraft; but the pinnacle was going on a trip around the Bay of Biscay in her, what an experience and like seeing the most famous musicians in concert that are no longer with us, I'm so glad I got to experience it's magic while it was still around!

Many years later in 1999, I'm living in Bundeena (a small town south of Shitney) and one day I'm on the beach when I hear this tearing roar off the extended 16 from Mascot and I'm thinking "what the hell is *that*?" Seconds later, sure enough it's Concorde. There is nothing - nothing at all - that looks, sounds and flies like it.

It was all down to Cost: The Airlines were not making back the money spent on the safety modifications and other upgrades, with some other big costs coming up (tens of millions, before any life extension programme), BA need to write off £84M now rather than £150M in 3 or 4 years. Air France wrote off a large sum of money too. With the premium first class market non-existant post 9/11, there was no hope of paying back the modification cost to start with, forgetting about any further investment that was required to keep the aircraft in the air. Day to day the aircraft still broke even, but could no longer pay back any big expenditure items, so its days were numbered. It is a sad time, but the inevitable really only came forward a few years from the ends of its technical lifespan. We should celebrate what Concorde was and still is, the only profit making Supersonic passenger Jet ever to go into service - the Americans could not even do - that's how far ahead of its time it was...and still is!

Anyway, the very top people who took these planes don't need it anymore, they use the deep underground magnetic levitation ThyssenKrupp trains globally with a Mach+2/3 minimum spead, as an example Al Bielek who worked in Montauk Long Island in the 80s, took every day home this train. Apparently it's only one way.

@jackmnsadler Not true again. The last two years of Concorde were its most profitable while with BA. BA canceled because after AF pulled out, Airbus (who'd inherited Concorde's mtx support) didn't feel that a single airline could justify the cost of that support program alone, vis-a-vis the benefit of writing it off. So once Airbus revoked support, BA had no choice but to end the service after a few months.

The concede flew to many destinations across the globe. It wasn't just limited to the iconic route between New York and London. The reason most of these routes weren't popular or well known, was due to the fact, some destinations were specifically for events or VIP transport. There's even a video on KZitem where the Concorde goes to the Fiji islands. I'm guessing the Concorde would make one or more stops (depending on where it traveled to). But don't let that deceive you, despite the amount of fuel it burned, it was still capable of traveling great distances at a very short time. This was due to being able to fly at much higher altitudes, where the air makes an aircraft virtually lighter and fly to little to no effort at all. If airliners could fly at the altitude the Concorde flew (55,000 and above), greater distances could be achieved, with airframe, engines, and other aspects taken into account...
