AIRFRANCE_CONCORDE_F-BVFB_SINSHEIM_1112H_JP_small.jpgI flew F-BVFB in 1999 and after she was retired, I never imagined I'd see her again. Until I got to Sinsheim Technik museum that is! I knew that there was an Air France Concorde there on permanent display, but did not even think it may be -B. So here she is, beautifully displayed for all to see- brilliant as ever....

BRITISHAIRWAYS_CONCORDE_G-BOAE_JFK_0702C_JP_small.jpgFor my British chap friends. I even put her a bit higher in the frame so the watermark doesn't butcher this beautiful thing. I will confess that I used to park next to her and just gaze at this beautiful work of art, the pride of Britain and France. Even 50 years from now, she will look like she "belongs" -that design will never be dated. This in-service shot was taken on the old TWA ramp at JFK in 2002

BRITISHAIRWAYS_CONCORDE_G-BOAE_JFK_0702F_JP_small.jpgI uploaded this photo because last night I watched a re-run of the Smithsonian special on Concorde and towards the end of the program, the BA chief pilot made the most profound statement that brought him to tears, as it did with me- he said (not quoting word for word) "On the final arrival of Concorde to Heathrow, I watched 5 perfectly flyable airplanes sitting side by side, knowing they'll never fly another revenue passenger again"

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.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.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!

afconcfbvfcjfk800.jpgSadly, this Air France Concorde was parked at Terminal 1 for several months after F-BTSC crashed in Paris. All concordes were eventually fitted with protective material on the wings so that they cannot be pierced by anything the tires go over on takeoff/landing. Note the temporary red protective tape used on windows and any openings on the airplane

fbvfb_may99.jpgThis may seem like just another window shot but it's not. That window, while hard to tell from the photo is a tiny window in F-BVFB, Air France Concorde. With my friend Joe Wolf who worked for Northwest at the time, I flew F-BVFB from JFK to Detroit (yes, I said Detroit). What's really special about this particular shot however as our ATC and PA friends at JFK will tell you, a 4L Concorde departure is extremely rare. Typically the Concorde departures would utilize 31L/13R or 22R, primarily for noise abatement.

fbvfaJP.jpgA very special photo in my collection. F-BVFF just arrived from Paris taxiing to Terminal 1, while F-BVFA taxiis out of Terminal 1 on its way to runway 31L for departure to Paris. Only one airport on Earth offered not only Concorde service but multiple Concorde service daily with two Air France's and two British Airways Concordes. I know that I speak for all my friends at JFK that we miss that airplane sorely!
