My Concorde trip

On January 28, 2002, I travelled on British Airways' Concorde flight BA2 from New York (John F Kennedy airport) to London (Heathrow airport). The flight departed New York at 12:32pm EST and arrived London some 3.5 hours later at 9:01pm GMT despite being 'stacked' over London for around twenty minutes. A maximum speed of 1,425 mph was reached, and a maximum altitude of 60,000 feet. [more text to follow]
