Come Tour the Intrepid With Me!

This week, I went to visit another miracle on the Hudson, The Intrepid Museum of Sea, Air, and Space. Opened in 1982, the Museum is centered on the aircraft carrier Intrepid (CVS-11), one of the most successful ships in US history, and now a national historic landmark. In 1943, Intrepid was commissioned and served proudly in World War II. She went on to serve as one of the primary recovery vessels for NASA, three tours of duty off Vietnam, and submarine surveillance in the North Atlantic during the Cold War. Today she continues her service as a premiere educational center and a monument to all who have served our nation in uniform. Exhibits include collections from sea, air, and space – like cool fighter planes, space capsules, and flight simulators. Aircraft Restoration Manager Eric Baim was kind enough to show me some of the really awesome, cool plane exhibits. So come aboard Intrepid with me for a fun tour of one of New York City’s real, every day miracles. And if you’re in town, you can visit it yourself any time.
