Concorde Flight May 25 2003

This is a raw edited video of my experience as a passenger aboard Air France Concorde on Sunday, May 25, 2003 during the last week this supersonic jet airplane was in service.

Amazing video! Awesome flight on the legendary Concorde! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks for sharing your home video with us. Makes ya wonder how many other cool home videos exist out there.

very empty considering this was its last week in operation, you'd think more people would be nostalgic enough to at least experience it one last time. goes to show how un-economically viable it really was and lets not kid ourselves most of the concorde's clientele would be able to easily cough up the money for its high ticket price if they really had any sort of brand "loyalty" to the famous jetliner.

Un peu idiot, votre commentaire. Ce n'est pas parce que des personnes ont pu voler une fois sur Concorde qu'elles peuvent réitérer l'expérience facilement et à n'importe quel moment de l'année, vous ne connaissez ni leurs revenus ni leur emploi du temps. Et pour voler il faut aussi avoir un objectif dans l'endroit oû on se déplace. On ne vole pas juste pour l'acte de voler.
Le Concorde était un marché de niche, en grande partie parce qu'il consommait beaucoup de kérosène et qu'il était produit en moins de 10 exemplaires, et il a souffert de la crise pétrolière en 1980. C'est pour cette raison que sa longévité a été courte.

I am sure a much improved version could be built today. Concorde technology is 60 years old. Bottom line, it has to make financial sense. Way too loud. Except for the pilots.

Very nice video quality compared to other Concorde trip reports I've seen. I've walked through the Concordes at the Paris Museum of Air & Space. To be honest the seats looked similar to today's premium economy products. And at 8:34 the interior looks similar to an ATR-72. And that's the real reason why Concorde was not a success financially. You had to be an aviation enthusiast type person to make more than one trip.

Nice video, as another user pointed out below, just shows why the Concorde was never replaced as it was. At long last the only benefit of such a journey was that you'd get there in 3 hours. Cool plane, but I think if she was still around I'd still rather just book a business class ticket on a subsonic jet. Cheaper, more room, and have a little more time to relax.
Love the closing line of the video, I miss these sort of style of videos.

Concorde wasn't exactly The Ritz in the sky was it. It cost a lot of money and was far more cramped than any of the narrow bodies today. Again the only reason was to get there in under 4 hours, this avoiding the worst of jet lag.

[@DatamasterCorporation]

@@AlonsoRules Yeap, it just wasn't always worth it.

Nicely done 👊🍻

That's pretty gutsy, flying on anniversary of AA Flight 191 crash.

"We can feel the inertia." During a takeoff? No way!
We're dealing with a real MENSA candidate here folks! lol
