The noise on takeoff was insane. In another aircraft on the taxiway (sadly the closest I every got) at Heathrow you could barely hear your own engines, or even those of nearby 747s taking off, but when Concorde fired up the reheat and went down the runway, you knew all about it! Lovely to watch, and hear. I also regret not getting a flight on it, the cheapest ex-Paris tickets were actually closer to business class prices than first, so it wasn't as expensive people believe at all.
