Concorde: Final Flight

[PhilDernerJr]

Just saw this for the first time tonight believe it or not...sorry to jump on the band wagon so late, but holy crap...it looks like it should be a high school reunion. Phil looks like he's 12. I think based off his description of the plane, he and Maya would be soul mates =P

What did I say? And who is Maya?

I had not met any of you guys at that point, well except for Art. I shot the last Concorde flight from the Bridge.
Took another 9 months to finally meet Phil

you spoke so poetically of the Concorde....I'm pretty sure I even saw a tear trying to make its way out. Maya Angelou was one of the passengers on the final flight.

I lived in Jamaica (the West Indies not the cesspool north of JFK) when the Concorde took it's last flight, I was pretty sad that I had to miss this flight. I grew up with them dumping the gear over my house in Long Beach. It was always a breath taking moment. When I was about 7 or 8 I had to be hospitalized at LIJ for a week and was lucky enough to be on the top floor on the east side of the building. When JFK was on the 22's I would just sit next to the window watching planes arrive at seemingly eye level with the highlight being Speedbird and Air France.
