- It was December 1986, when the Concorde landed in Jamaica. It was an exciting time. People were happy and exuberant. It was a family affair. Even the captain had Jamaican connections and it made it all the more exciting as all the major players, Pearnel Charles Minister of Transport, Hugh Hart, Minister of Tourism, Carole Guntley, Director of Tourism, and Noel Hylton, President of Air Jamaica were on hand for the meet and greet. It was indeed a once in a lifetime affair, a festive, momentous and uplifting experience for Jamaica and Jamaicans.

This was when Jamaica was great

Amen Amen and Amen. We have all the memories thanks be to God.
Then let's make it great again 🇯🇲💪
What stupid people .How unnu so negative..Let gooooo !!!!Look to the future.smh
@@loisnoble9139You do know poverty and crime was worst
Damn , Jamaica was so good back then and in the early 99’s. My island is mash up now with the new generation. Smh.
The Concorde was such a marvelous piece of engineering.
@Ambagaye ....G O A T....It wasn't built by BOEING so it stood no chance of commercial [sales] success in America ....SONIC BOOM restrictions etc etc...One day, the technology will return....✍🏿
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this!
I was a kid when this flight came. My Mom flew back to NY on this return maiden flight from Jamaica. Back then when we had waving galleries, I recall seeing her walking across the tarmac to the aircraft and finally on taking off, in split seconds in a big boom, it was gone!
A very historical moment indeed.
It circled over Kingston when it was leaving. It was a sight to behold .
I am not Jamaican but I felt and enjoyed the excitement, thank you for sharing this wonderful bit of history.
"It is good to understand a piece of history. It was an historic event. It was the fastest airliner." 👍
Jamaican accent is wagwan!,God bless Jamaica and her people,much love from#eastafrica#mombasakenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Would you believe that people believe that Jamaicans can't speak English well... luv the variations in intonation, the in and out of the patois... love my people!
No its not you saying wrong
@@user-xn1sb3jx6q you jelouse 🤣😂🤣😂
My grandma was a air hostess for British airways and she was lucky enough to be on the the concord. She would tell me all sorts of stories about this plane and how unbelievable fast it was. So glad to see a pice of history like this.
I learned something new. I could see the enthusiasm and hope of how this would bring new prospects to Jamaican tourism.
My Dad told me about this, it's the first I am seeing this footage, thanks for shearing.
The people looked very comfortable back then. Love Jamaica.
Right? Damn, those day and the early 90’s were the gold age.
I WAS A BOY !!! I CAN REMEMBER VIVIDLY THIS MOMENT IN JAMAICA IN OUR HISTORY !!!! WHEN THE CONCORDE LANDED AND EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT IT
I love being a nostalgic person. This was a great video to watch.
A Concorde moment in History
It is nice to see how nicely dressed everyone was . Thank you for sharing
Yes, very nicely dressed with lovely demeanours.
Moral values was the order of the day then . Now all of that gone through the window
As a teenager I worked at JFK and I could recall the sonic boom. Air France and British Airways flew the concord. It was always a sight to see. Jamaicans love aircrafts. As a kid when the JDF would fight it’s helicopters into Mandeville Hospital to pick up sick patients school and market empty out 😅😅😅😅😅
Same here as a teen working Argenbright before joining military
Every Wednesday and Sunday.....I lived near JFK and those concords rattle my roof and windows ....
The good days of Jamaica 🙌 Air Jamaica no longer exists because of corruption and mismanagement :(
When Jamaica was great when the world was better then it is now
True talk
I was an ex employee for British airways in the mid 90s when they use to have American crew members in Boston and new york, it was so hard to get a ride on the Concorde for free which you can standby as an employee, finally in 1997 i was lucky to get the last available seat to London. This plane is very fast . All the seats are 2-2 each row which is very accommodating and the food service is unlike anything you will experience on any regular intl flight just spectacular.
Waving galary....memories
Just discovered this video. I WAS ON THAT FLIGHT! I flew earlier in the day to JFK from Orlando and flew the Concorde to Montego Bay. I was the only passenger to return back to JFK that same day. The Jamaican tourism board was not happy that I did not stay in Jamaica and that I was only there for the flight!
Thanks for the memories I was 12 when the concord came to Jamaica
Thanx for this footage. Brings back sooo much memories.
Jamaica was great that time people would work and make a living
We have only just began!!!
Go Higher Jamaica!!!
My people I love u all so much😊especially when u portray unnu self so decent and civil
I saw that plane ✈️ live, we lived right beside the airport
Keep these stories coming please 🙏🇨🇦
I love my people from day one. Our accent haven't changed one bit, ❤❤
Then Why y’all all flee to the U.S it’s more Jamaicans in The u.s than on y’all island 🏝
@@akeemthegreat1700 Self Esteem is missing
@@akeemthegreat1700 You can get Jamaicans out of Jamaica but you can't jamaica out of Jamaicans.
Why did u flee to this comment section ? @akeemthegreat1700
I used to enjoy watching this plane land in New York!
it flew over kingston and that noise tha came from those engines and it wasnt fully cranked.sounds like a fighter plane
Thanks for the upload I still have pictures of it such a wonderful aircraft
What a memory .thank you for sharing
The 80s, Jamaica was sweet comparing to now . Seeing this brings soooo much great memories of the 80s in jamdown .🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Despite whatever is going on there,it also happens everywhere else too.JAMAICA is still great
I can imagine the feeling of those who were aboard the flight ✈️ one disembarked like a hero 🦸♀️
I remembered, that was the real Jamaica then!!
Memory's thk u for preserving a national treasure
This is such a lovely look back at the good old days! I was in the airline industry for many years.. but missed the opportunity to fly on the concorde.
Thanks for sharing! Now I'm helping to work on flights between Africa and the Caribbean.
Thank you for sharing this. This was great
I was here on this day. I was one of those kids running around on the waving gallery. And, yes, that was a green Air Jamaica 747 jet in the background 😊.
Wow that must have been exciting for you...how long ago was that??
@@milli6415 that was 1986. As a child, just being at the airport was a thrill. Seeing planes was like icing on the cake :-)
@@jamaicanvisa Those days ppl would take their children to the waving gallery of the airport as an outing 😊
@@arlenechambers8481 That's very true. I couldn't sleep the night before. I was too excited 😆
@@arlenechambers8481 So true. Date night was an evening at the waving gallery 😂
This concord land in jamaica in the 90 s was great i love air jamaica we would like a air jamaica concord but air jamaica is not here now we need our air jamaica back bless
No. It came late 86 .
It was too expensive. But yeah I miss the "champagne flights"
80s the government of the 90s was too stupid the 80s the country was being run better
I remember that day as it was yesterday.
When?
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I didn't know that Air Jamaica flew 747s! Cool stuff!
That 747 was leased by Aer Lingus
Lots of cocaine could hold in those planes to NY and Miami. Just like Al Italia used to carry heroin from italy to NY
😂thats why they went broke
@@chrisromans6996 Air Jamaica went broke because of Air Jamaica Express.. go and look at the ownership structure and the management of a certain hotel chain😢.
@@chrisromans6996 don't forget that Jamaica squandered the money earned from the misguided sale of 866 2nd Avenue in NY (the UN mission building) and the building that housed the High Commission in London. Bad stewardship of our national resources.
Beautiful
.🔥Rare EXCELLENT.....The best vid for a long long time. Sits along [1966] Selassie's visit.......✍🏿
I wonder if we going to ever see our country come back to something like this I hope what a day that would be amen
This happened more than 30 years ago! Seems to be a spectacular view with people seemingly full of joy. I wonder how old could the people appearing in this video be by NOW?.
My uncle and auntie were interviewed, they came on the flight. My uncle passed last year but his wife is still alive .
40s to 70s
@@marciathompson9969 🌹
Never flew on it but went in there a few times when I worked at Heathrow. Tiny. Tremendous sight when it takes off, especially when it's raining
Haa yes. I watched the landing from a bit farther up the hill from the airport. It was an exciting time.😊
Even their accent back then sound different
Yes I believe we add slangs as the years goes by. Today accent sounds different from when I was growing up in the 90s I can barely understand the yutes nowadays.
@@arabdon4481 It depends on who you speak too
@Arlene Chambers true because the accent across the island varies from rural to urban, lower class, and upper class.
One of the conchordes is now parked beside the Grantly Adams Airport in Barbados, as a tourist visitation sight. The engines have been taken out of course, as they no longer fly. I was previleged to pay a small amount to tour the plane, and even looked inside the cockpit. On my next visit to that island I will tour that parked conchorde again. Anyone planning on visiting Barbados, I would invite you to go see and tour the conchorde.
❤❤
I remembered when it did sadly did not get to see it and now it’s only in the museums😢
I actually remember this.
I never forget that day the sonic boom in rhe air it was crazybbut worth seeing 😎💣💥

This was when the great Edward Seaga was Prime Minister of this country.
Pernel is about 300 years old right?

Make the woman feel as if she flying in the concord-Buju banton
I had a toy version. I remember this. 😊
I also had one. Some of the staff at the airport got them as souvenir and thats how I got mine. My neighbour stole mine and his sister told me that she saw him with it at school
Does anyone know if this was non stop from the UK?
Omg, I remember that day, I was living in flanker Montego bay 😂😂
Interestingly Concorde and Air Jamaica are no more neither stood the test of time .
How dosent this have 1000 views?
I love my people, I need to find a Jamaican wife.
My favorite aircraft 😊
So much dignity
Wow wow wow
I notice the officials used the word 'tremendous' quite liberally
This seem like the good old days in ireman time for times like this too return too much killing
Great great
I was in the first year at the Clarendon College.
Pernel you was young man then
I was 12 years old at that time
Speed Machine 🇬🇧 🇯🇲.
Jamaica the capitol of the world,jamaica always been great.
History ❤
Nice
When Jamaica had potential. Not even our own airline we could save. A damn shame.
Even if that Concord crash didn't happen 23yrs ago, the Concord fleets would've survived financially.....these planes were getting old, and maintenance was skyhigh and not enough profits.....it was great while it lasted....these planes were 1960s technology
I was only 2 yrs old 👶
When the "J" in Jamaica was Capital. jamaica is crazy these days
Me hardly a year Patio, swear a Jamaica dis?
This is so typical of your Dad, going for the best.
Long time passing. A better time.😞
