First one have touched down, 2 to go - very annoyed that I don't have a set of speakers at this PC.

Btw, sorry about the amount of posts, but the chat room is full Laugh out loud

CPH-R · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:05 am

There went the second one - VERY long float - the weather at LHR looks awful, plenty of clouds. Not to mention that it looks like there's a stiff crosswind.

BA002 only one left now!

707CMF · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:05 am

Darn, I wish I were at LHR right now...

gr325 · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:07 am

CPH-R · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:07 am

.. and BA002, G-BOAG, has now touched down. This is it - the end of commercial service with Concorde.

You'll be missed! Crying

jhooper · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:09 am

Man, CNN Pisses me off. The cut away to some stupid fire story and missed one of the actual landings. Pissed

CPH-R · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:09 am

Are they displaying the Union Jack from the cockpit? It looks like they are, but it's impossible to tell on the webcast.

hoons90 · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:10 am

beautiful... CNN is showing all 3 concordes that arrived lining up...
the first one was G-BOAE, second one BOAF, the final one BOAG

gr325 · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:10 am

Union jack is out indeed

scbriml · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:13 am

Just watched this at work in central London. All the offices around had crowds of people on the roofs. The sight of three Concordes flying over London in succession was a simply awesome sight. Rushed down to the TV room to see the landings live. Everyone watched in awe, then just turned away silently and went back to work.

Sad day for European aviation. Crying

Airdolomiti · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:13 am

*wipes tear from cheek*

Crying

That's it. No more supersonic service....The third and final landing was indeed the best (my plane too, OAG... Big grin

).

A very beautiful show indeed!

Amazing. Emotional, and utterly senseless! Goodbye Sophisticated Lady, you're career was ended prematurely. You'll be sorely missed.

kl911 · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:14 am

Bye Bye... Crying

cainanuk · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:19 am

Looking at all the airport staff on the apron, I dont see a single aircraft being serviced. Reckon there are a few delays today at LHR??

SAS-A321 · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:19 am

The Concorde - Beautiful as a swan landing on a lake.

Goodbye Concorde you'll be missed.

kl911 · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:20 am

Thanks CO DC-10................... You ended this......

B-HOP · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:20 am

Just watched it. Shivered when I saw the two aircraft on approach - one behind the other. Absolutely amazing and unbelievable.

gr325 · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:22 am

I wonder if there was any pilot at LHR who would have snagged his plane just to see this?

Stretch 8 · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:29 am

I just now videotaped the live coverage here in the U.S. of the three consecutive Concorde landings at LHR . . . all I can say is WOW! The Brits really now how to put on a show.

Farewell beautiful Speedbird. We shall miss you dearly.

MYT332 · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:29 am

They landed 20mins ago and are still taxing around, nobody wants this to end

aeroyu · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:39 am

2003, the 100th year after the first aircraft flew on sky, also the year that the only supersonic aircraft finished her duty.

What a sad day.

FlyingDutchBoy · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:44 am

My goodness! what a "special" coverage......... still watching it live on BBC World.

Sabena 690 · Sat Oct 25, 2003 12:55 am

Just watched the live coverage on BBC 2.

Sad, very sad... Crying

I'm going to miss her a lot!!!!

Regards
Frederic

Jaspike · Sat Oct 25, 2003 1:14 am

I saw part of the Sky News & BBC2 coverage after landing, both seemed to be good!

I missed most of the landing, so I'm pretty annoyed about that.. but it'll be on again later Big thumbs up

It was amazing watching the landings. I was flipping channels back and forward from CNN to MSNBC to FOX news Channel. This will go down as a great day in aviation history.

airbazar · Sat Oct 25, 2003 1:35 am

I wouldn't say it's a great day in aviation history. More like a very sad day in aviation history. A step backwards almost, if you will. A lateral move at best Smile/happy/getting dizzy

dc-10 levo · Sat Oct 25, 2003 1:45 am

A very sad day. I taped clips on every news channel and watched them back again and again. A tear comes to my eye everytime I hear the ATCO speak to BA002 on BBC2. Crying

.

I'll miss her.

Mr.BA · Sat Oct 25, 2003 2:25 am

It's really sad Sad

I only saw it once in my life and sure it did look good!! Goodbye Concorde!

LHR340 · Sat Oct 25, 2003 2:28 am

I recorded it and watched it at Heathrow Sad

A very sad day in aviation history. She will be missed deeply, and I will miss her waking me up.

SInGAPORE_AIR · Sat Oct 25, 2003 2:34 am

It was very emotional watching those 3 Concorde's landing at London Heathrow.

A highly respected aircraft will be missed and there's no doubt it has made it's name in aviation history.

My favourite part was when the third Concorde G-BOAG was sitting for a long time and the camera occasionally panned across to witness clearly the Singapore Airlines Boeing 747-412 and the gold SIA Bird standing proudly in the background. Another good moment was when a Concorde was taxiing the other side of the MEGATOP with the Singapore Airlines titles showing crystal clear! Fantastic!

qantas744 · Sat Oct 25, 2003 2:57 am

You never miss a trick do you S_Air Smile/happy/getting dizzy

Matt (who will soon be on one of those SQ744 things).

Coronado990 · Sat Oct 25, 2003 3:14 am

Flew on one of the last SAN-LHR non-stops to see one of the last Concordes. God, what an awful week. I truly have a pit in my stomach. Thanks for the memories BA!

Doublewammy!!

Here is saids that people in QUeens and Brooklyn did not like the sonic booms.

Problem is the plane never went supersonic over land so what are they talking about?

The engines are loud but come on.

N766UA · Sat Oct 25, 2003 4:11 am

You know even turboprops hurt their ears....

dc-10 levo · Sat Oct 25, 2003 5:08 am

Just a reminder to anyone that receives Sky News, there is a program on tonight at 21:30 called "Concorde - Chasing The Sun".

Looks very good. Probably bring another Crying

to my eye.
