In my best 'Comic Book Guy' accent - Best Thread Ever......

We've heard from Engineers, Pilots, Designers, 'Ambassadors'.... How about ATC??? Are there any out there with their memories?? Was life slightly different when "No Speed Restriction" was offered and Concorde hit 400 kts+ instead of the mere mortals at +/- 300 kts?? Anything unusual in their handling on the way into LHR/JFK/IAD/BGI etc for sequencing?? Any general anecdotes to recollect?? Heathrow Director, are you out there? Your name sort of gives you away.....

Keep it up everybody!!



PS - Was there ANYTHING on the Charger(ski) that was better or more advanced??

It's over two hours long... Probably best downloading it!!

Then look around the site, similar on the SR-71 and U-2 as well as the space shuttle..

10 minutes to Mach 1?? What rate of climb was obtained once everything was stabilised and climb speed was reached (obviously without any step restrictions)?? In my world (and everyone's now, unfortunately) a full contingent of passengers would be lifted to maybe +/- 20,000 feet in that time, not supersonic territory at that altitude without government instructions and an enemy!!

I take it Barbados was similar? 3 2 1 Now, and the next touch of the throttles was at top of descent at the other end??

Been stated before, but John Hutchinson's interview on the OmegaTau podcast, and the video of Dave Rowland and Roger Bricknell going to JFK and back are essential for any self respecting enthusiast... I don't suppose they are the real names of some of the experts contributing to this thread are they?

That's because it's better, hard to admit as it is, than an Islander... Or any other heavy jet with lots of glass inside and carbon outside!!!
