Were the rules for take-off different in the United States? I live under the
former flight path the Concordes took upon approach to Dulles, and I can't
recall them being any louder than another plane. I rarely saw them on
takeoff, so I can't really compare. But, my question is did the Concorde
follow different rules until it was off the coast to keep them quieter?
