Hi Folks
I've just been given Concorde: 27 years of supersonic flight as a gift and it follows Concorde's 1999 round the world trip - which then made me want to do it.
Here's screenies from the first leg. The aircraft was British Airways Concorde Alpha Charlie (G-BOAC)
John F Kennedy International (KJFK)- Vancouver International (CYVR)
Taxing out to runway 4R.

JetBlue A320 on short final at JFK just before we take off.

Entering the active.

Taking off with a China Airlines 747-400 taxing to the holding point for 4R.

Leaving JFK in the distance.

Climbing over Manthattan with Lady Liberty far off down river!

Visor retracting.

Mach One.

Supersonic Acceleration over Canada.

Afterburners on as we maintain our "Climb Crawl".

Heading correction to maintain our flightpath.

Overtaking an American MD-83 10,000ft below

Travelling faster than the Earth's rotation!!

Mach 2.00 cruise over Canada.

To hell with noise abatement.

Final Approach to YVR.

Touch Down at Vancouver International Airport.

Vancouver International, British Columbia (CYVR) to Kona International, Hawaii (PHKO) coming soon.
