To end our busy day exploring Manhattan, we spent the afternoon visiting the excellent Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.









USS Intrepid from 1943 is a huge ship and 266 meters in length.





Visiting the commanding bridge deck.







Midtown Manhattan is very prominent from the deck.





Cruise ships dock on piers next door.





Various aircraft on display.















USS Growler is a former Navy submarine from 1958.





Space inside the sub is very tight.



















Third and final highlight of the museum is one of the few Concorde supersonic airplanes that ever got built.It is still such a beautiful plane, 40 years later.











The famous photograph of the deadly incident that begun the demise of this wonderful plane.



Inside, all of the cabin was first class and flying supersonic wasn't cheap.



The plane being built in the 70s, there are no electronics onboard Concorde. Just a lot of buttons and dials everywhere!







It is such a shame what happened to Concorde.



After the museum we paid yet another visit to the ever-busy Times Square.











There is always something to see on Times Square.







Next part on this trip will have us explore the Fifth Avenue area. Stay tuned!
