British Airways' Captain Mike Bannister Chief Pilot of the British Airways Concorde fleet on hand to dedicate Concorde Alpha Delta G-BOAC officially retired and beginning it's life as a part of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum - project planners and British Airways David Noyes speaking, documentary by Jon Hammond - Music: "Pocket Funk" and "Lydia's Tune" by Jon Hammond ©JON HAMMOND International ASCAP "NEW YORK (AP) After 27 years as the soaring star of international travel, earning five-star reviews from the Hollywood crowd but little applause elsewhere, one of the supersonic Concordes is taking on travelers in a more down-to-earth setting. The slender, needle-nosed airplane that British Airways designated Alpha Delta has been opened to public tours at the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum, on the Hudson River on Manhattans West Side. Even among Concordes, Alpha Delta is special, holding a trans-Atlantic commercial speed record for a flight between London Heathrow and John F. Kennedy International Airport: 2 hours, 53 minutes and 59 seconds. People who could never afford British Airways $6,000 London-New York fare on the Concorde may now see some of what the high rollers enjoyed at 60,000 feet." http://www.HammondCast.com/
Note from Jon Hammond: It was a real pleasure to meet Captain Mike Bannister, British Airways' Chief Pilot of the Concorde Fleet when he dedicated Concorde Alpha Delta
G-BOAC to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum on January 26th 2004 - film forth coming folks, Jon Hammond *Note: I flew the Air France Concorde from JFK to CDG in 1981, 3 hours and 26 minutes NYC to Paris - that was the game changer for me. Now I'm Supersonic! (x2, flew Mach II) - Jon Hammond / Jon Hammond Band — with Jon Hammond and Mike Bannister at Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum

Jon Hammond for Alcatel-Lucent / Bell Labs: "On stage, on television or on the radio waves 
everyday I feel lucky because I’m ALWAYS ON! Jon HammondMusician, television personality and radio broadcaster Jon Hammond boarded a Concorde in 1981 to travel from New York to Paris at supersonic speed, and he never slowed down.Jon travels the world, touring in Europe and Asia two or three times each year while broadcasting his “HammondCast” morning radio show seven days a week. At home in the United States, Jon splits his time between New York City and San Francisco and performs four to five concerts each month at local hospitals, nursing homes and prisons. His cable television program, “The Jon Hammond Show,” is in its 25th year and going strong.“In my business, it’s essential to be contactable 24/7. I couldn't organize as much as I do without being ALWAYS ON.” Inspired by the Beatles and fascinated by the radio (he built a crystal radio at the age of five), Jon knew he was destined to be a musician. Although that’s a departure from tradition - Jon’s father and grandfather were physicians - Jon carries on the family business in his own way by performing in some of the very hospitals where his father once practiced medicine.“I've seen people get out of their wheelchairs and dance more times than I can count, so I’m happy I can make a difference playing for those who are less fortunate than me.”Jon has not forgotten those who opened doors for him when he was first starting out in music and broadcasting, and now he uses his radio and cable television shows to do the same for deserving young talent.Like Jon, we at Alcatel-Lucent are passionate about connecting people through communications technology. In our Bell Labs locations around the world, we’re working on new and exciting innovations in next-generation broadband technology to ensure people like Jon can find even more creative ways to share music, moments and memories.
