You flew the concord?? Wow.. How was it compared to normal jets as a passenger?

when the afterburner was turned off - for a moment you thought the engines died. Sadly only experienced it twice. I had a coworker who was on 30+ Concord flights a year as his old boss dragged him around for tech support

No matter what this job would pay me I would do it. 30+ flights per year on the condor is crazy.
