Has anyone here been on Concorde, or better yet, is anyone planning to take one of the last rides on it that BA is having?

Oh yes, indeed

Search FlyerTalk Trip Reports and the BA forum for "Concorde" and you will find many a story.

I think you'll find that the majority of active Flyertalkers has been on Concorde. Some of us over at the BA board have flown her several times.
