This was El Al Cargo's only true freighter (meaning it was born in the factory as a cargo plane, it was not a converted passenger plane). Sadly, -AXG was lost in a fiery crash in Amsterdam just months after this photo was taken...

Even though I used to see this airplane so often, each time was very special and these days, with it no longer flying, I have my photos to look at and reflect upon. I couldn't record photos like these without the help of my numerous close friends at JFK and other airports who have helped me capture aviation history over the years!
AIRFRANCE_CONCORDE_F-BVFB_0599D_JP_MAIN_small.jpg
AIRFRANCE_CONCORDE_F-BVFB_0599D_JP_MAIN_small.jpgDuring my Air France Concorde flight, I photographed the bulkhead Mach meter. This was about the fastest that we went; Mach 0.95, which is the equivalent of 723 miles per hour. Note that from JFK to Detroit it's pretty much all over land so you can't go supersonic like you can over the ocean. Still, 723 miles per hour is extremely fast, given the fact that most normal jets cruise at 550 miles per hour
AIRFRANCE_CONCORDE_F-BVFB_0599C_JP_MAIN_small.jpg
AIRFRANCE_CONCORDE_F-BVFB_0599C_JP_MAIN_small.jpgOne of the greatest pleasures of my life in aviation. Riding in the cockpit of the Concorde inflight! Not quite across the Atlantic, it was a positioning flight from JFK to Detroit (yes Detroit), but the price was right- free! Thanks to my friend Joe Wolf who at the time worked for Northwest and worked his magic to make this flight possible for the two of us. I'll be forever grateful Joe!
