Ever fly on Concorde ?

[ZeroGroundZero]

Was chatting to a family member the other day and they were recollecting their experience on Concorde back in the 90's when they flew to New York.

I never got the chance to fly on it but desperately wish I had done.

Was wondering if any of you guys had the pleasure of flying on the supersonic marvel ?

Yip. Did a long weekend in NY Concorde both ways in 2002.

Was it as good as everyone says it was?

My family member mentioned they were very impressed from boarding all the way to disembarkation.
The level of service was outstanding, the flight was very smooth, with supersonic being more or less unnoticeable but the most impressive of all was take off and the acceleration.

Am I correct in stating that the angle of take off was much higher than typical jet passenger aircraft?
They mentioned it felt like they were aiming for the moon!
