The USS Intrepid is an old decommissioned aircraft carrier that served from 1943 to 1974. It is now permanently docked at Pier 86 on the western side of Manhattan.
Also on display as part of the museum is a Concorde, the Space Shuttle Enterprise, the submarine Growler, and many planes.
We pretty much just wandered about.
At the back of the deck there’s massive tent housing the Enterprise – it was only ever used for testing and never made it into space, but it did fly:
There as also a photographic exhibition celebrating 25 years for the Hubble Space Telescope. I tried to give the girlies a science lesson, but they weren’t that interested for some reason.
Some of the aircraft on display:
Harrier:
Blackbird:
Concorde:
Unfortunately, we ran out of time so never had the chance to get inside the Concorde or visit the submarine.
