YT (Feb 7, 2007): Concorde aborts a landing at Leeds Bradford under a high crosswind - good view of the Bristol Olympus engines [originally designed for the TSR2] and the extraordinary power of the afterburners.

First the concorde was like, aight I'm gonna land on this bitch, then it was like, oh dang, I'm doin this sideways thing, and then it was like, I'ma bounce, this shit's whack, y'all crackas can keep yo damn runway.

arghness says...

The nose tilted for landing, so that the pilots could see the ground. It isn't usually tilted at other times.

Concorde was one of the most amazing jets ever. Who would have thought that when Concorde was put in to service in 1976 as a supersonic airliner that in 2011 there would be no supersonic airliners in use?

America is a long way from France. Their navy was TRYING to run away and got all the way to America before the Brits caught up.

Anti-semitism is plane wrong.
