I will confess that I used to park next to her and just gaze at this beautiful work of art, the pride of Britain and France. Even 50 years from now, she will look like she "belongs" -that design will never be dated. This in-service shot was taken on the old TWA ramp at JFK in 2002

AIRFRANCE_CONCORDE_F-BVFB_0599D_JP_MAIN_small.jpgDuring my Air France Concorde flight, I photographed the bulkhead Mach meter. This was about the fastest that we went; Mach 0.95, which is the equivalent of 723 miles per hour. Note that from JFK to Detroit it's pretty much all over land so you can't go supersonic like you can over the ocean. Still, 723 miles per hour is extremely fast, given the fact that most normal jets cruise at 550 miles per hour
AIRFRANCE_CONCORDE_F-BVFB_0599C_JP_MAIN_small.jpg
AIRFRANCE_CONCORDE_F-BVFB_0599C_JP_MAIN_small.jpgOne of the greatest pleasures of my life in aviation. Riding in the cockpit of the Concorde inflight! Not quite across the Atlantic, it was a positioning flight from JFK to Detroit (yes Detroit), but the price was right- free! Thanks to my friend Joe Wolf who at the time worked for Northwest and worked his magic to make this flight possible for the two of us. I'll be forever grateful Joe!

EMIRATES_A380_A6-EDP_JFK_0612B_JP_small~0.jpgPhotographed at 11pm almost at the point of rotating on runway 4L. I used 10,000 ISO in order to capture this very challenging shot

JOE_JFK_1290_JP_small.jpgI'm 40 years old (July 2012), but people I meet at the airport these days don't believe I've been photographing at JFK since 1986! Here I am at the old IAB (now Terminal 4), December 1990 with 3 beauties behind me, Air France Concorde, UTA (France) DC10 and Air Afrique DC10. Forgive my awful cargo attire from those days...

SOUTHWEST_737-700_N711HK_LAS_0207_JP_small.jpgThis 737 is specially registered -HK for Herb Kelleher, now retired chairman of Southwest who was extremely successful and popular. While it's a bit hard to see from the angle I shot the airplane, the paint scheme on this 737 is different than other Southwest 737s as this one is much darker/shinier in order to reflect its significance to the company (not to mention that it's a retrojet as this was the company's old livery for many years until it was replaced with the current blue and red livery)

This was an amazing flight that took us from Opa Locka Airport in Miami, up the coast to Palm Beach, then U-turn down to Biscayne Bay and then up again back t Opa Locka. Total flight time, about 45 minutes

a330cockpit18_JP_small.jpgFlying high at 41,000 feet. Absolutely splendid time sitting jumpseat with these two awesome pilots from New York to Brussels. Note the contrail in the captain's window- that is the same American 777 that was ahead of us on takeoff que at JFK, also crossing the Atlantic. You can see the American 777 ahead of us in the que if you click on the VGAIR hyperlink in Keywords below..

JAL_747-400_JA8076_JFK_0209_JP.jpgIn order to appreciate this photo, you have to picture the kind of temperature where if you're standing outside without gloves on, your fingers start to freeze within 20 seconds. With the brutal windchills that evening, it was below zero outside as this JAL 744 was flaring to land on rwy 22L

DC8_S2-AEK_OPF_1009_JP.jpgOne of those oddballs you see at Opa Locka in Miami, an airport that is home to airliners which have come in for the last time in order to be cut up. This old DC8, with a Bangladeshi registration is awaiting its turn with the cutting man..

Seen in the background is the old TWA terminal (now completely surrounded by Jetblue's T5. Also note the British Airways Concorde parked adjacent to the TWA terminal. I used to park next to the concorde many times at that spot and just sit there and stare at the beautiful lines of that amazing airplane

aamove11.jpg
aamove11.jpgThis was probably the most challenging part of the MD80 move. The right main gear had to ride on the center median in order for the already shortened wings to clear both sides of the street. At this point, the MD80 would be tugged to the left to it's final resting place

afconcfbvfcjfk800.jpg
afconcfbvfcjfk800.jpgSadly, this Air France Concorde was parked at Terminal 1 for several months after F-BTSC crashed in Paris. All concordes were eventually fitted with protective material on the wings so that they cannot be pierced by anything the tires go over on takeoff/landing. Note the temporary red protective tape used on windows and any openings on the airplane

fbvfb_may99.jpg
fbvfb_may99.jpgThis may seem like just another window shot but it's not. That window, while hard to tell from the photo is a tiny window in F-BVFB, Air France Concorde. With my friend Joe Wolf who worked for Northwest at the time, I flew F-BVFB from JFK to Detroit (yes, I said Detroit). What's really special about this particular shot however as our ATC and PA friends at JFK will tell you, a 4L Concorde departure is extremely rare. Typically the Concorde departures would utilize 31L/13R or 22R, primarily for noise abatement.

fbvfaJP.jpgA very special photo in my collection. F-BVFF just arrived from Paris taxiing to Terminal 1, while F-BVFA taxiis out of Terminal 1 on its way to runway 31L for departure to Paris. Only one airport on Earth offered not only Concorde service but multiple Concorde service daily with two Air France's and two British Airways Concordes. I know that I speak for all my friends at JFK that we miss that airplane sorely!

airchina_porschesfo.jpgI've spent time on many airport ramps all over the word and have seen a lot over the years, but this is definitely one of the highlights. I'm told this is the station manager's ramp car. I think the speed limit on the ramp at SFO is 20 MPH
