kids: A380 men: a320 and 737 heroes: 747 legends and gods: concord i sadly never saw that concorde irl, didnt even live for a few years AFTER its reitrement. i still love this plane.
Nearly made me cry watching this 😢 I love that beautiful majestic plane and the powerful motors it has, and the sound it made when it roared up into the sky. I really really hope they bring it back in 2019
I worked as BA cabin crew and in my mind there was nothing to touch the beauty and elegance of her also the big bird 747 ! Something about watching those planes take off that captures you
Just an absolutely beautiful aeroplane, the pinnacle of British aerospace engineering. Saw the three Concordes landing one after the other live on TV in Britain, never to be repeated again. Good on the BBC for bringing it to us though sadly I dont think supersonic air travel will ever happen again.
20 years since. I guarantee you that if people hated Concorde 27 years before this historic moment, that resentment was sure and long gone by the time of this final touchdown.
World most safest and fastest plan in the world. No any other passengers plan can compare with concord.Beautiful plan and also concord provide a long safe journey career to the people's.unbelievable
+Igor K Actually, New Yorkers couldn't tell the difference between the noise from Concorde and the noise from any other commercial jet, they protested at first but then grew to love Concorde.
that is true the americas where jelous of it cuz it was fast, and the americans version failed, and it made them hate the british and french built concorde
I think (unfortunately) we have again the Tech/Internet to blame for the demise of Corcorde. Business men now have Skype/Internet conferencing etc and have no need to fly Supersonic to other Countries as much as before. Very sad. Wish there could be some "Corcorde" Group that could keep one of these beautiful beasts flying.
Wait for BOOM. I have written them to put 186seats so the fares could be more affordable. Imagine the fares on an 80seater. I am looking forward London to Singapore in 5hours instead of 13hours.
Heartbreaking - and shame of Air France and Aerospace for withholding spares that are now gathering dust in a hanger in Toulouse - Branson had the ability to save this beautiful plane....
SOME CONCORDES OF COURSE, LATER FLEW TO THEIR FINAL RESTING PLACES, E.G . MUSEUMS, AROUND THE WORLD. THE LAST CONCORDE MADE (1979) G--BOAF 216 FLEW TO FILTON BRISTOL, WHERE IT DISGRACEFULLY, WAS LEFT OUT IN ALL WEATHER'S FOR MANY YEARS, BUT NOW RESIDES IN A PURPOSE BUILT NEW MUSEUM ON THE SIGHT, WITH MANY OTHER EXIBITS, OF BRISTOL AEROPLANES LONG AND ILLUSTRIOUS HISTORY, RESTS. WELL WORTH A VISIT.
Sad day to see Concorde put to rest, Yes are country has giving up again, we don't make anything anymore, even are cars were giving away, Sad old UK, stop wasting are money, lets start to build again
It was too expensive to fly and to fly on. Concorde tickets cost over $10,000. There were also concerns of damage to the ozone layer, which were logical given how high the Concorde flew. It was also aged; it required a flight engineer and still had analog controls. Meanwhile, fly-by-wire airliners such as the Boeing 777 and Airbus A320 had been dominating the market. Concorde would just be too expensive to support and not profitable enough to be practical. The best option was to land for good.
Actually Concorde was one of the first fly-by-wire aircraft it might have had a fully analogue cockpit but the control surfaces were controlled by a primitive computer system impressive for 1960s technology to be fair. It set the foundation for modern airliners today, it also used composite materials in some of its construction as well. Source: www.concordesst.com/flightsys.html Also Concorde did actually make money for British Airways, 25% of BA profits in the late 1980s came from Concorde flights directly. The Paris Crash and 9/11 screwed Concorde over. 50 of her most frequent flyers were killed in the WTC attacks. The British Airways relaunch after the 2000 Paris crash also occurred on 11th September 2001. If those two tragic events had never happened the plan was to retire the Concorde fleet between the years of 2010-2012 that information is from the Project Rocket Team, who started the last refit to Concorde in 2000/01. This is when the airframes would have exhausted their life if flights had continued to 2012 or so.
Rest in peace, old friend 😭😭😭
Brings a tear to my eye.
I cried when those amazing concordes landed
Good bless and Rest In Peace
It is still the most beautiful and exciting airliner ever...

2029* United airlines.
only two remain flying although they are operated by a charter company now :-(
There are none running anymore, @@marshalllucky
2029!
A very sad day. Will always be the most greatest achievement ever. I really hope we see it in the sky again in the future.

Masterpiece of aviation industry...no plane can come closer to it.

The last ever flight of Concorde was to Bristol Filton👆🏻
In a couple weeks time. It’s 15 years of Concorde’s last ever flight. It was on Friday 24th October 2003.
Mike Bannister is a true legend
What an amazing Plane! Wish I could fly in the Concorde!!
long live Speedbird Concorde!!!
People still miss this aircraft.
World most safest and fastest plan in the world. No any other passengers plan can compare with concord.Beautiful plan and also concord provide a long safe journey career to the people's.unbelievable
Wednesday 24th October marks the 15th anniversary of concorde’s last flight.
it was a shame to see Concorde be taken out of service though it was a brilliant plane
+Jamie Swinburn It was an economical failure
+Igor K Actually, New Yorkers couldn't tell the difference between the noise from Concorde and the noise from any other commercial jet, they protested at first but then grew to love Concorde.
+Igor K Noise is just another stupid reason to kill this beautiful plane because american were jalous of this plane. A french/british creation.
that is true the americas where jelous of it cuz it was fast, and the americans version failed, and it made them hate the british and french built concorde
Fuel consumption of this plane it was 3x than a 747 wich care 4x more pasangers

In a couple of days time, it’s the 15th anniversary of concorde’s final flight. Back in October 2003. @EmilySWood @AlexOsborneTV
A week on Wednesday 24th October marks the 15th anniversary of concorde’s final flight. It was back in 2003. @EmilySwood @AlexOsborneTV
October 24th 2003 was the day that glamorous commercial air travel died.
Alex Osbourne and Emily Wood will be excited to see that event in a couple weeks time as it happened 15 years ago.
Can't wait to see it back in 2019 . They said on the news!!!
+John Cefrenicia Really? I thought they were all decommissioned and turned into stationary exhibits.
they lied, it is not flying anywhere
they did?
tears
I saw the last three flights
Same here! six years old and watching from a gridlocked road just off LHR!
Wait for BOOM. I have written them to put 186seats so the fares could be more affordable. Imagine the fares on an 80seater.
I am looking forward London to Singapore in 5hours instead of 13hours.
7:39 I feel the same way kid
Same
A massive step backwards.
10 years ago today..
Dad: Why are you crying so damn loud!
The future Beethoven I was going to say that
Heartbreaking - and shame of Air France and Aerospace for withholding spares that are now gathering dust in a hanger in Toulouse - Branson had the ability to save this beautiful plane....
Funny that it said on the news a faw weeks it ago it coming back in 2019 and it 2018 can't wait!
cant wait for them to say thesame after covid... really cant
Oh god.
Wish Richard Branson had put his money where his mouth was and purchased at least a couple of the Concordes to keep them flying.
AGREE
Modernize the Concord and make em fly again
but most airlines are moving onto less fuel efficient airplanes like like the 747-8 787-8 dreamliner A350-900 and the 777X

*site. Simpleton.
3:09 dont worry little boy, uts replacin itself in 2019:)
planes spotter and railfanner they will still never be anything like the elegance or beauty concorde had.. 😢
I blame the Americans.
Sad day to see Concorde put to rest, Yes are country has giving up again, we don't make anything anymore, even are cars were giving away, Sad old UK, stop wasting are money, lets start to build again
Have you learned the difference between 'our' and 'are' yet?
why they ended them anyways? I dont have intell on that.
well it because of 2 things. Concorde uses a lot of fuel and Concorde produce noise pollution A.K.A sonic boom.
It was too expensive to fly and to fly on. Concorde tickets cost over $10,000. There were also concerns of damage to the ozone layer, which were logical given how high the Concorde flew. It was also aged; it required a flight engineer and still had analog controls. Meanwhile, fly-by-wire airliners such as the Boeing 777 and Airbus A320 had been dominating the market.

Triplea135 134 it had noise pollution and high fuel consumption for more than 20 years they killed it after that many years . Makes sense to you ?
Actually Concorde was one of the first fly-by-wire aircraft it might have had a fully analogue cockpit but the control surfaces were controlled by a primitive computer system impressive for 1960s technology to be fair.

Should have made them long range bombers
that could be a good idea, but the tu 160 exists, so
What a weird looking plane
😢😂8
blah blah the concorde is coming back in 2019 for another try when they get nore money
Engineers should make a new one, with lighter material, make it more efficient.
BBC sold out as per USUAL…. lol
