Concorde takeoff from cockpit view ✈️ 📸 by ig/concorde legacy , pilot benjamin

Excellent. There was a hotel at the end of 13L at JFK. I walked outside just as a Concorde flew overhead for landing. It was loud and impressive.

Seems a bit "bouncy", you would have thought the French would have built in some Citroën suspension stuff to make it smoother.

Never gets old

So cool. If only they had the F/E announce “Reheat!” 🤓

lucky enough to have flown on it twice, into DC in 1996 for July 4th

Very cool, then floored the throttle.

The World I knew.

Such a beautiful airplane. I’m glad that I saw it in Oshkosh. Captain Cook, as I recall.

Ever noticed how the Boeing 787’s wings bend dramatically upwards in flight? ✈️ That’s the power of composite materials — their elasticity allows for pronounced positive dihedral in the air, supporting the plane’s weight efficiently. On landing, the wings return to a near-neutral position as they yield to the landing gear.

This day in history June 30th, 1968 - The first flight of the C-5A Galaxy took place at Marietta, Georgia - It weighed 497,000 lbs. and took 3,800ft. to liftoff at 123 kts. 📸 by reddit/brilliant_night7643

What’s the most beautiful aircraft ever?

Kids, please stay off the cell phone even when driving in the non-movement areas of the airport. 🫣
