Clear The Flight Deck....

With a sunny day and a full deck of planes, it made for great picture taking at the Intrepid Museum. The list of planes was impressive feature the SR-71 Blackbird, one of America's premiere reconnaissance planes. There was also selection of Russian jets, assorted helicopters, and other jets from different periods.

You can literally walk from one end of the deck to the other to see these assorted aircraft. It is a diverse collection - indeed.

There is one more set of photos coming that show the inside of the carrier and some of the devices that they used back in the day. The technology has changed so much over the years that to see the technology then and knowing what has evolved is short of amazing.
