Concorde descent & landing
A 10 minute video of old "droop snoot". I love the remark about slowing through Mach 1.95

Since I am on dialup right now, I can't view this movie. However, if you go to YouTube and search for Concorde, there are a series of videos that were made and show what it is like to fly the Concorde to NYC. It is a British Airway jet and they have cameras installed throughout the cockpit. The Captain does most of the talking (I think he was an instructor) and it shows all phases of flights, including the FE running abnormal checklists.
After seeing those videos I realized, flying the Concorde seemed more like flying the Space Shuttle than an airliner.

great video, very well done. i just watched the takeoff one as well. the FE goes through the fuel system checklist for takeoff at the beginning - and some people think twin cessnas are complicated, geez! anyone know what Vr typically was for that bird?

(check out the A-10 too close for comfort, too. warning, some foul language in that one, but well deserved!)

True, I remember studying that whole CG shift/fuel transfer thing that the Concorde and the B-58 Hustler had to do. But good grief, how many fuel tanks did the Concorde have?

Here is the link to the BBC TV special on flying the Concorde. The videos are broken into several segments. In my related videos section, I see all the other videos.

The pilot in the first video, the older guy looks like the one that came to the flight school I was teaching at. This guy flew the concorde no joke. Nice videos.
By the way, anyone know what kind of fuel flow occurs during TO and Cruise?

I beileve in this video (Aviation Video: Concorde Acceleration 0.90 mach to 1.7 mach (cockpit) | Patrick's Aviation) the captain said something around 14 tons (!) per hour with afterburners and that gets cut in half during cruise. I don't know about takeoff.
