@@planethatloveskillingbaloons Actually, the B-1 was an easier design to make than the Concorde, cause the B-1 only sprints supersonic when it gets near the target, the Concorde goes supersonic the whole way across the ocean. Surprised the passengers arent asked to hold cups of jet fuel during takeoff.
On the date that the Concorde landed in Atlanta, Nov. 3, 1993, I was standing in the parking lot of the old GEX (Government Employees Exchange) department store located on the east side of the directly adjacent I-75 and directly under the approach path to what was then KATL (Atlanta International Airport) Runway (Rwy) 27L. I got to watch that Concorde come almost directly over me only a couple hundred feet above my head! And I was flabbergasted by all the people making such a fuss back then about the Concorde being too loud when flying over land. I assure you it was truly no louder than the hundreds of planes I saw and heard coming in and out of KATL almost every day. Throughout much of the previous couple of decades I had lived almost directly under Rwy 27L. Maybe that makes me somewhat accustomed to the sound? But after all I am comparing the Concord with all other big jets many of us often see and even board for trips. But I am just as convinced now as I was then that all that fuss by Americans was really jealousy. And we were led down that path by JFK having a hissy fit about England and France beating us in getting a supersonic passenger aircraft. After all, we were the first to break the sound barrier. Why not first with this? But I fully believe our conceit kept us from having them even to this day! Oh well.... And oh yes, what about that 27L runway designation I briefly mentioned. If you knew KATL like I know KATL, you might find that interesting. Is that as interesting to you as it is to me??? I guess you have to be an airport geek--or better yet, a Microsoft Flight Simulator geek--to appreciate this. What follows is primarily a lot of lesser known history about KATL. If you found the above interesting, read on. If not, I advise you to not waste your time. First, it is good to know that the runway numbers, 26, 27, and (as you will see later) 28, generally refer to the compass direction your plane is facing when taking off or landing. Add a zero to the number and you have the (approximate) direction your plane should be pointed on the runway. For example, Rwy 26 is pointed toward 260 degrees. Those are the degrees on a compass that range from 000 degrees (north) to 180 degrees (south) to 360 degrees (same as 000 degrees, north). With 360 being due (exactly) north and 270 degrees being due west, then 260 is slightly south of due west. Rwy 09 (or 9) is pointed east, 090 degrees. Got it? But you also need to remember that a runway marked 27 would only RARELY be pointed exactly the same as adding a zero would indicate. Rwy 27, rather than pointing at 270 degrees, might actually point to 269, or 271, or even 266, or 274, etc. Worse yet, due to changes in Earth's magnetic north, those numbers are subject to adjustment. But more on that later.... To more easily understand what follows, it might be best to pull up Google Maps and search for Atlanta International Airport. Please zoom in and out as needed to see the details. Zoom in enough and you can clearly see the Rwy designations painted near each end of each runway. Anyway, trying hard to get back on subject, the year the Concorde landed was 1993. That year was a decade or so before they built a parallel 5th runway somewhat further south than the others. When the Concorde landed, there were only 4 runways. At that time, the runway it landed on was designated 27L, the runway whose approach pattern I lived under for most of my growing up years. If you zoom in on the runway numbers of the two northernmost runways, you will see they are now 26L and 26R. Going back even further in time, when there was still only 2 runways at what was then called Atlanta Municipal Airport, what is now 26L was originally designated as 27R. Hmmmm.... You see, the number change from 26 to 27 was partially due to a shift in the direction of magnetic north. The "real" North Pole, the one on which the world turns--literally, is not located at the same place as the magnetic north pole. The latter is the direction an old fashioned magnetic compass points. Prior to around WW2, nearly all aircraft still used magnetic compasses. Some still do. With modern technology, we could automatically compensate and point them to "true north" where the north pole is located. But because of that "some still do" thing above (and people are slow to change), it was decided even modern digital compasses still point to "magnetic" north, not the North Pole. Unfortunately, the Earth's magnetic core tends to drift to the point where "magnetic" north can and will gradually move around. This is a slow process that changes only over periods of decades and centuries. But after a few of those decades, the difference can become significant. Thus the runway number change from 27 to 26 became necessary. But such changes can be a real problem for pilots who get set in their mind what the runway number is "supposed" to be. To prevent potential human errors such as these from showing up, a change of just one number 7 to 6 can cause crashes. Thus we are left with Runways 26L and 26R on the north side and 27R and 27L on the south side of the airport. Oh and by the way, the southernmost newest runway is numbered 28! WHAT??? Well when there are 2 (or more) runways pointing in the same direction, the numbers are advanced from 26 to 27 to 28. But when there is no 28L and 28R, there is no L or R added. Oh well........ By the way, another major reason I know all this is because I am OLD! To be exact, 76 years old. I was born at the end of WW2, two weeks before my father was KIA in a tank in Germany. So I can even remember going to the old Atlanta Municipal Airport (as it was called in the 1940’s and 1950’s). Twice, in the early and middle 1950’s, my grandfather flew into Atlanta from New Jersey. The entire airport grounds were not even 15% of the size of the current airport grounds. The rather tiny, single-story terminal building was located on the current northern edge of the airport about where the Delta Headquarters buildings are now. The terminal floor was literally at ground level and we could walk directly out onto the tarmac to see aircraft up close. The runways ran diagonal to the current layout and have nearly disappeared unless you know where they were. Some were incorporated into runway exit ramps. His first flight was aboard a DC-3 tail-dragger (must have took forever with several stops along the way!). When he went to the airport for the return flight, my mother and I actually boarded the aircraft to “see him off”. WOW! The second trip was on a “modern” DC-6, a 4 engine (piston-powered propeller driven, one stop) aircraft. We were still able to go with him out to the aircraft but not go in. I remember being impressed seeing a Lockheed “Connie” with its 3 vertical stabilizers (tails) pull up nearby on the tarmac. Oh what memories of a 4-, 7-, and 43-year old have suddenly come rushing back that I have not thought of for decades. Sorry for taking up so much of your time! I just hope this is not so long that someone decides to delete a bunch of it! Oh well….
Sir it was a pleasure reading all of it. I could go on to be honest. Anyway, i hope all is well with you and i'm letting you know that i got that 27L reference. But i'm both a Concorde and Flight Simulator geek, so i guess that's no surprise.
Looks worse than it is. Everything about Concorde is spot-on. The angle of landing and take-off is necessarily sharp. But electronics tell the crew how close they are.
Thanks for this amazing video! I had no idea that Concorde visited my home airport until now, it's so cool seeing Concorde landing with the Downtown/Midtown ATL skyline in the background 😍
Yea that's true. Coming in for landing with no flaps, the flight engineer literally had to pump fuel to the aft of the airplane to give it a good trim for landing configuration.
@emmanuelosaghae6566 no. Fuel was pumped aft for supersonic flight becasue she needed an aft CG. But for subsonic flight the fuel was pumped forward to bring the CG back forward.
Whenever Concorde appeared in an airport all pretence of cool disappeared, all pilots in other planes could not show off, they simply vanished while everyone looked at Concorde.
My dad lived in Atlanta then and told me how he remembers all traffic stopping on the highways every time the Concorde was coming in, for everyone to have a look
This is a cool video. I have always thought of a 👀Mudskipper looking forwards when the nose points down. ☺ Otherwise, NOTHING on earth will ever replace this genius Jet aircraft not even the new one they are working/dreaming on at the moment. Just period!
Okay, I love the Concorde and all and back in England one took off in front of us which was quite the experience to hear…. The most exciting thing in this video though are those Tristars and the 727’s… the l1011 is by far one of the most glorious planes of my youth 😂. I love that plane. ❤
I saw the Concorde take-off and land every day from the mid-70s to 1978. I can tell you that every-time that bird took off or landed to could pretty-much see every airport employee find a reason to stop what they were doing and watch it operate. A thing of beauty. In my humble opinion this aircraft, or some updated variant, would be still operating but for one reason: it wasn't built by Boeing/McDonnell-Douglas/Lockheed Martin. Firstly the U.S. Government fought tooth and nail to ban Concorde from flying in its domestic airspace due to some convoluted reason that the sonic booms would harm people and livestock. Yeah, right. The earliest version of COVID Govt mumbo-jumbo. The minute that the AF unit crashed in Paris, the fight was on. You notice how quickly the Concorde was "retired" after one crash? I'd love to see the political shenanigans behind that.
I was not aware that the Concorde ever flew within the US. Double sonic boom breaks house windows, glassware in kitchens. From Atlantic Ocean to ATL, it must have been subsonic. FAA didn't allow it over continental US, as I remember.
I believe it was on some sort of promotional tour or charter that day. I was working on the Delta ramp that evening and got to watch it take off. And yes, I believe it flew subsonic over the mainland. I believe it continued on to Las Vegas if my memory serves me correctly.
Look up Braniff & Concorde. Braniff crews were trained and flew leased Concorde's between Dallas FW and Washington Dulles subsonic between 1979 and early 1980. AF & BA Concordes had to be registered onto the US Register to allow them to fly these domestic sectors within the US, and were also under the remit of the FAA for these flights. Concorde's Hydraulic system had to be modified before the FAA would allow Concorde to operate these flights - automatically switching to the Yellow system, in the event of a Green/Blue system failure, rather than a crew selection as built as there was a chance, albeit a very remote one, the aircraft could be without powered controls for a brief period of time in the event of a total Green/Blue failure. These flights weren't very successful but it's quite an interesting little chapter in Concorde's early route network and with a US Airline, with a US Crew, flying a N-registered Concorde under FAA jurisdiction shows the USA wasn't as anti-Concorde as some re-written history argues.
At the end of her service, Concorde DID fly supersonic, on it's way to it's permanent home in Seattle. With special permmission. She flew over northern Canada, keeping to a special route where there was little occupation, then slowing down to cross the border into Seattle.
I was Flying in from Jersey ( English Island) to Norwich in ,1997, was sitting on the Right behind the Wing and I saw this incredible what seemed like an Arrow shooting up, it was The Concorde......So Amazing....I Wondered who was on it....Mick Jagger, Joan Collins..here was I with overweight Holiday makers
No Problem with Overweight People except their Fat takes over my Space in a Plane & they are too busy Eating to care about other People...Think about Yourself for Once
Concorde could not legally fly over the continental US at supersonic speeds. The sonic booms would reverberate across the entire trajectory of states in its path. 60,000 ft = 12 mi. You can hear it pretty loud and clear from that distance.
what was the reason of this flight. was it a charter? I know it was not a regular scheduled flight. I didn't think Air France flew to Atlanta in the early 90's.
As of 08/08/23, in the USA, the Megamillions Lottery is up to 1.8 BILLION DOLLARS. When I win, I am going to start a company and make this a reality once again. For evreyboy that loves this plane, first ride will be free. Bring your family along....

Shows how just a tiny change in pitch can lead to a clunker of a landing like that. Definitely took some skill to fly that airplane smoothly.

I believe it was on some sort of promotional tour or charter that day. I was working on the Delta ramp that evening and got to watch it take off. And yes, I believe it flew subsonic over the mainland. I believe it continued on to Las Vegas if my memory serves me correctly.
Look up Braniff & Concorde. Braniff crews were trained and flew leased Concorde's between Dallas FW and Washington Dulles subsonic between 1979 and early 1980. AF & BA Concordes had to be registered onto the US Register to allow them to fly these domestic sectors within the US, and were also under the remit of the FAA for these flights. Concorde's Hydraulic system had to be modified before the FAA would allow Concorde to operate these flights - automatically switching to the Yellow system, in the event of a Green/Blue system failure, rather than a crew selection as built as there was a chance, albeit a very remote one, the aircraft could be without powered controls for a brief period of time in the event of a total Green/Blue failure.
These flights weren't very successful but it's quite an interesting little chapter in Concorde's early route network and with a US Airline, with a US Crew, flying a N-registered Concorde under FAA jurisdiction shows the USA wasn't as anti-Concorde as some re-written history argues.
At the end of her service, Concorde DID fly supersonic, on it's way to it's permanent home in Seattle. With special permmission. She flew over northern Canada, keeping to a special route where there was little occupation, then slowing down to cross the border into Seattle.
Awesome video! Thanks for posting.

Imagine a Delta Concorde
Pretty ruffled landing 🛬
Hermosa y poderosa súper máquina.
I was Flying in from Jersey ( English Island) to Norwich in ,1997, was sitting on the Right behind the Wing and I saw this incredible what seemed like an Arrow shooting up, it was The Concorde......So Amazing....I Wondered who was on it....Mick Jagger, Joan Collins..here was I with overweight Holiday makers
No Problem with Overweight People except their Fat takes over my Space in a Plane & they are too busy Eating to care about other People...Think about Yourself for Once
I thought it was Sydney because of the Kangaroo hop.🤣
Concorde could not legally fly over the continental US at supersonic speeds. The sonic booms would reverberate across the entire trajectory of states in its path. 60,000 ft = 12 mi. You can hear it pretty loud and clear from that distance.
And niether can any replacement project
Thanks sir Nalamutanvalga sir thanks
Fill the heart with neon colours.
Awesome footage.
Magnifique
Amazing jet!!!!
For those who think this isn’t actually 1993 look at the delta livery. That should say it all
Also, the half-finished Concourse E also provided a close idea of the year this was shot.
what was the reason of this flight. was it a charter? I know it was not a regular scheduled flight. I didn't think Air France flew to Atlanta in the early 90's.
As I recall, it was a publicity tour.
It was a promotional tour
💙BEAUTIFUL BIRD💙
Shame he messed that one up a bit! Not unsafe, just ungainly for such a graceful bird.
Que buen aterrizaje me encanto,perfecto....
Tail gear was useful in this landing.
Muito bom o seu video, a qualidade de imagem está perfeita
There was a tail strike 1:32
There's a little tail wheel
@@thes4uce Yeah i know.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Question? What was it doing in Atlanta?
It was apart of a promotional tour. It stayed sub- sonic while over the US.
Is it just me or does the fuselage look like its slightly bending when it bounced?
ahhh the good old days
Delta minding it's own business @ 6:00
As of 08/08/23, in the USA, the Megamillions Lottery is up to 1.8 BILLION DOLLARS. When I win, I am going to start a company and make this a reality once again. For evreyboy that loves this plane, first ride will be free. Bring your family along....
The pride of Britain/France showing the yanks what is possible.....
Never knew they flew to Atlanta nice catch!
I thnik that was a one-off flight.
This did not look like an easy plane to fly. Just look at that angle of attack.
ONLY THE cREAM OF THE CROP FLEW HER. AND THEY ALL, LOVED HER.
Hard landing!
The livery remins me of Airfrance flight 4590 😭
This awesome bird should be FLYING! Nuff politics. Whoever videoed this did a GREAT job of capturing this beautiful plane!
4 months ago?!? Awesome!
Tail touched the ground on landing, the exhaust. Very concerning.
Terrible bloody landing. They almost smashed the exhaust system
thats Air Chance for you .... their pilots are less than BA guys and gals
I cant tell if that is the smallest plane ever? Or we weirdest plane ever?
Smallest? Wtf
Why France stoped making them ? They used to be so supersonic.
Not just Air France, they stop service with Concorde because it was very high tech for the time being.
@@Captain_Chad it cost too much money to repair.
That's sad, i would love to be in a flying Concorde (i went in a museum one in Toulouse/Blagnac but not in a flying one saddly 😪)
Thats a hard landing tho but still a great plane
Air France. That's romantic. That's the airline that Elsa Lund & Victor Lazlo took off from Casablanca on in 1941.
I though supersonic flight was banned over American airspace?
It was. You realize that Concordes could be flown subsonically too, do you not? ;)
Wow!
For a noisy, expensive, inefficient, airplane, she sure still get plenty of attention, even 50 years after her creation. Super good looking curves, indeed. Neither one of those "bad" characteristic killed them. Politics did, and the fact that she couldn't cater to the "greyhound bus" passengers of today. RIP
in 2002 BA stated that their Concorde Service produced 25% net, of all their profits, and rising. Politics DID kill off the GLORIOUS CONCORDE
