Yep. Plus, the runway at Renton is only 5300 ft long; a bit of a
squeeze for an aircraft that flies at 160 kts on final.

Time some checked out their landing distance calculations again

There certainly are US crews type rated in the Concorde, probably
not current for a long time, but Braniff crews flew the Concordes
on scheduled flights from Washington (DUL) to Dallas (DFW).
The Concordes even carried "N-Numbers" during those flights.

Not current is an understatement!
