Why backwards? It's all about efficiency.. they won't keep something around if it's no efficient enough. Planes nowadays are more sophisticated and more technology advanced....
I feel so incredibly lucky to have seen her fly just once before she was grounded for good, even as a very young lad the memory is as vivid as ever almost 20 years later
The Air and Space museum in Chantilly VA has one of these. You can view it from an upper level and walk around underneath it. They also have an SR-71 Blackbird, and the shuttle Discovery.
Actually it's the first time I see as night takeoff departure of the Concorde. Love it was done with a cheap phone video coz this thing passing by with full afterburners is the closing thing to Star War stuff and the Millenium Falcon I have ever seen. And I am not a Star War fan.
El concorde era tan brillante que hacia que hasta los carros lo adorasen tambien con sus sonidos,pero como no se van a maravillar con semejante aparato creado x los dioses
@@MrDaiseymay nice. I did not know that. I haven't been to an air show in a few lifetimes, I hope I can witness a Vulcan take off. I've seen Vulcans, impressive to say the least.
Before I ever saw Concorde for the first time at Manchester a guy once told me that it makes your balls rattle and I can confirm it's true , mind you i was very close . My girlfriend at the time also remarked that her's did too . 😁
What still anoys me, is remarks about how loud she was. What about the Military air fields, all over the world, millions of people have to adjust to it. At least Concorde had a schedule, which you could prepare for, NOT THE MILITARY.
Whenever they say last its another way of saying lets upgrade something's on it and bring it back revamped and better in future years.its always going to be here
shame that the "future of commercial aviation" went up in flames and blew up in our faces and in 2023 we are dead in the water as far as that "advanced technology " is concerned...!!

Even the cars cheered for that momentous event.
😂😂 Yes!!
They did
They did also rest in peace to the Concorde
They did also rest in peace to the Concorde
R.I.P Concorde 0000-0000 idk whene it was made 💀
Can you believe there was a plane with afterburners that took off from Heathrow everyday??
And that it is still parked there being used as a storage after 20 years
sick as hell... i wish they still did that lol
It was awesome
Seems we've gone a bit backwards...
What a beauty...
She was the most beautiful aircraft in history. 747 is also majestic, but not quite the beauty of Concorde.
So you’re telling me that the A350 doesn’t look as good as either?
@@TheOtherAviationGuy not to my eyes, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Yes. In 2001 we had the twin towers and concorde. Now we have neither. All thanks to America. Think about it. All deliberate.

The end of excellence, the beginning of the age of mediocrity
So true.
I feel so incredibly lucky to have seen her fly just once before she was grounded for good, even as a very young lad the memory is as vivid as ever almost 20 years later
I too remember it taking off from Heathrow, the noise was incredible though.
Sends chills down my spine.
why are you commenting on your own video 9 years later
@@WHATSAHANDLEIDKIDK why not
@@grundl1024 no way he discovered this actually
Even at night this was such a Spectacle and Technological Masterpiece!An Airshark almost like Space Shuttle takeoff at Canaveral!
I was there, to your right - our view was obstructed by that bl**dy lorry! Have a VHS video of it somewhere. RIP Concorde :(
"" Thank you. "" Just what i needed. ❤️ 💪 😊
Glorious. She was a majestic bird, wasn't she?
is Concorde a girl?
@@KimJong-Dingdong Traditionally, Ships and Aircraft are referred to as feminine.
@@vgbondarev Oh okay
There was more than one plane
@@ianpage2765 thankfully, but there was only one last Concorde departure from LHR.

NICE-
at the Brooklands museum in Surrey u can go inside one
My dads company did all the groundwork there, we got special pre opening tickets, more crowded than a regular day😢
Nice. @@jaymes1
My favourite plane of all time.
It looks like a super star destroyer!!!!! THIS THING IS FREEKING SICK!!!!!
The plane of my dreams.
Mind blowing!!! 🤯
Still second to none re power and beauty.
Absolutely glorious
Fantastic
Just....AWESOME!!! 😎🔥👍🏾🛫😆
Amazing sight. The noise is thrilling.
Awesome
We usto hear that awesome plane all the time when I lived on the south shore of long Island..
We'd run outside to see it..
You had the pleasure of British Airways and Air France departures. Very lucky
Twenty years later it still looks hi Tec 😊
Yep. The Delta wing will never age
Amazing this man deserves more subs for uploading this!
I love this video❤
Cheers.

It was done with a first generation digital camera so it’s a bit grainy. Canon IXUS if I remember rightly. No iPhones back then.
Now life’s shit 😢
El concorde era tan brillante que hacia que hasta los carros lo adorasen tambien con sus sonidos,pero como no se van a maravillar con semejante aparato creado x los dioses
It was amazing to see and hear.
@@mickyday2008 si era increible amigo y el sonido era hermoso
Full afterburners engaged….wow!
I used to whatch concord take off from the parking rooftops from Kennedy. Let me tell you, the ground shook. For a long time
Those 4 RR Olympus Engines , were also fitted to our Vulcan Nuke Bomber's, so massive power, plus after-burner's

I flew at 1,420mph on that bad boy coming back from New York. Awesome.
Was the best movie too, airport 1979!🎉
The person who enthused about the noise. Obviously never heard two Lightnings take off as a pair. That is real noise. (Yes, I have, many times)
Never underestimate the British aircraft ❤
Go girl ❤❤❤
What a loud departure.
What still anoys me, is remarks about how loud she was. What about the Military air fields, all over the world, millions of people have to adjust to it. At least Concorde had a schedule, which you could prepare for, NOT THE MILITARY.
altough it iis a low qulaity it is still a honor to greet concorde's last flight
First generation Canon digital camera. Shame I hadn’t got a HD camera back then. You get an idea how amazing it was.
Feito por Deuses Guiado por Herois
What?
@@mickyday2008 "Made by Gods

I wouldn't imagine traveling at mach almost mach 2
1,420mph. Awesome
Mach 2.2 apparently.
@@barryvincentredmond3973 We did 1,420mph with a tail wind. Awesome
Imagine that at Glasgow when I am planespotting that would of happened if one did not crash 💔 r.i.p😭😭
Whenever they say last its another way of saying lets upgrade something's on it and bring it back revamped and better in future years.its always going to be here
nice
Crazy
what an engineering!
And so, we entered the age of blandness
An utter travesty she doesn’t still fly
shame that the "future of commercial aviation" went up in flames and blew up in our faces and in 2023 we are dead in the water as far as that "advanced technology " is concerned...!!
what are you implying, bone 'ead
potente!!!!
Definitely!
@@mickyday2008 I agree!
The Afterburners wow
It was spectacular
And people complain about new aircraft being loud.
When was this video filmed?
I recorded this on 24th Oct 2003 or thereabouts.
Thanks.
10/23/2003@@mickyday2008
A car that rings when the Concorde speed 0:18
Last departure out of LHR. 1st and last ever, departure at night.
What are you talking about, lol. There were night departures all the time.
@@user-ep4lv4fw9o At dawn and twilight yes, but never at like 10pm.
@@charlestesoro7902 wrong again, lol.
@@user-ep4lv4fw9o Where’s your proof? We need evidence!
The Concorde wasn't the loudest plane. I saw the launch in Zurich (see my video of the last Concorde-flight from Switzerland). At the same airport I witnessed the takeoff of an old four-engine Tupolev; the ground vibrated, the sound was infernal!
ua-cam.com/video/xNm0-6B4Twk/v-deo.html
Are they trying to film with a flip phone
Most likely, yes. Smart phone cameras did not exist in 2003.
of course it was the loudest that time, they went full burner. Afterall what are they gonna do, ground the plane?
Kinda spooky when it flys over
*flies. Ffs....
spooky??
Some say it was Ahead of its time, I think it was just Right though just too costly and gas gusseling for its time and maybe too dangerous as one of the reasons it was retired. However there WILL be another Super Sonic airliner soon
The passenger's paid for the fuel. The rich never complained. Concorde was in regular service for 30 years, no civil airliner had a comparable safety srecord. Concorde was NOT reponsible for that single crash, it was other peoples carelessness.
I wasn't at that crowd.
She is the only one..thanks to this beautiful engineering ever to fly and grace the airspace 🫡🫡🫡
I always love these videos. It answers so much.
Is this one of the greatest planes ever? Definitely.
Should they have discontinued it?

YEAH---just like the thousands of military Air Bases around the world.
