Takin' Off....

From the history department......

Here are some shots from the Intrepid museum in New York of the world famous Concord jet aircraft that has been retired from passenger service. The stories of its speed across the Atlantic are legendary.

Here in New York, they have placed it on the pier right next to the Intrepid. You have the opportunity to walk through it and see the narrowness of the fuselage. There is also a chance to peek inside the cockpit and view the instrumentation of the aircraft.

The plane itself has a very rich history. Since it has been retired, folks have built models of the aircraft for display. It is one of those planes that will live on in history for the ages because of its supersonic capability.

Coming next...more planes from the Intrepid....
