Back in the 1990s my morning slumber would sometimes be disrupted by the distant roar of the Concorde taking off from JFK. Only if the wind was from the south. Mostly in the summer time. I'd think that those high-powered passengers cramped into the narrow tube of the SST would be in Paris for a late-lunch or an afternoon designation with their mistress. I myself never flew the Concorde. But here's a great URL on Youtubes showing an aborted landing due to crosswinds.
