Nice shot! I've been there two weeks ago and I really liked it. It's a nice place and I particularly liked to see the Blackbird and the BA Concorde.

A visitor from Germany posted Thu March 19, 2009:
Have been there last week. Pier is rebuilt, plane position changed. Nice arrangement now in '09

A visitor from Australia posted Tue March 17, 2009:
Good to see a carrier from 1943 still in good condition... a lot of history in one photo...

A visitor from - posted Sat February 14, 2009:
Georgous picture of the USS Intrepid and the concorde!!! You can see the sheer size of it compared to the Concorde!

A visitor from France posted Tue February 10, 2009:
It's a really nice photo, and it's great to see a Concorde in America, now the Americans can see what they're missing after American politics took Concorde out of the sky!!

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
The Concord IS still there. I toured it on 22 Dec 2008. It is sitting on the 'dock near the aft of the Carrier. The Intrepid is worth the $$ to see, Military Discount, too! --DAF

A visitor from - posted Wed December 31, 2008:
It is pretty good. Yet structurally the photo is lacking. The only real gem about this photo is the fact that so many different interesting objects are in it.

A visitor from United States posted Mon December 15, 2008:
To bad the Concord's not there anymore :(

A visitor from United States posted Mon December 15, 2008:
This provides great detail and drastically exhibits how far in avionics we have come.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat September 27, 2008:
TREMENDOUS

A visitor from United States posted Thu September 18, 2008:
Hey, i've been to the museum carrier before they have the sub and the concord.

A visitor from Egypt posted Thu July 31, 2008:
Can someone tell me why would they put a concorde onboard a ship like that?

A visitor from Brazil posted Thu June 5, 2008:
Man, Sr-71 and Concord was so ahead of their time, what a great machines!

A visitor from Canada posted Wed May 21, 2008:
Well you don't see that combination everyday!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun May 11, 2008:
A visual treat.

A visitor from Brazil posted Wed December 5, 2007:
Very nice photo! Rare combination.

A visitor from India posted Wed November 7, 2007:
Great Picture.. a great carrier.. a great super sonic.. and some amazing ac on display on deck..

A visitor from Italy posted Mon June 25, 2007:
Very nice picture. I saw it was used as set for an escape sequence during the movie "national treasure" with Nicholas Cage. He jumps off a bridge of the Intrepid in the water.. (probably a studio shoot, or, at least, I hope for him)

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue May 8, 2007:
Amazing, its all so big

A visitor from United States posted Thu February 15, 2007:
Great photo,of a great american carrier. Gives the vewier an idea of what it's like before the ship leaves for duty, and the amount of preperation required to get ready for service.

A visitor from Thailand posted Tue January 23, 2007:
Very fine detail and informative, I can spend whole day walking around this carrier! Wish to be there someday.

A visitor from United States posted Mon January 15, 2007:
So much to see !

A visitor from United States posted Thu November 30, 2006:
Really Cool!!

A visitor from United States posted Thu November 30, 2006:
Great to see New York celebrating aviation.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon November 13, 2006:
What a stunning shot. Concorde looks so small by comparison yet both were mega powerful in their own way. That shot alone just makes me want to go visit this Museum.

A visitor from United States posted Thu November 9, 2006:
Wow, what an awesome photo!! Absolutely five stars

A visitor from United States posted Mon October 30, 2006:
The concorde is on permanent display. The Intrepid acts as a museum and his been there for years upon years. The SR-71 has been there for aslong as I can remember! Last week it was announced that the Intrepids' location will be change to another location in Manhattan. And you can find it everyday, as it is there everyday. just not everywhere.

A visitor from Egypt posted Tue September 12, 2006:
Every thing you want to see it will be in this photo carrier,Submarine,aircrafts,helicopters every thing nice pic :)

A visitor from Spain posted Sat September 2, 2006:
Realy nice...but maybe what happen with the concord on this expisition???

A visitor from Poland posted Fri September 1, 2006:
Really nice shot. i wish someday i can see the intrepid like that. maybe when i get back to new york i can take a helicopter tour. really nice.

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 27, 2006:
That's an impressive shot.

I love going to the Intrepid. You can go aboard the Concord on your Intrepid ticket with no extra cost, and I believe same thing with the submarine. And I think that's the circle-line boat dock off to the right of the pic.

A visitor from Argentina posted Sat August 19, 2006:
Nice pic!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon August 14, 2006:
Great bit of flying to land Concorde there!

A visitor from Philippines posted Thu August 10, 2006:
Great variety. Is that a Concorde on the barge? Plus a sub? Alongside an aircraft carrier? All in one place? You cant find something like this everyday!

A visitor from Germany posted Wed August 2, 2006:
Haha, how cool is that!!

A visitor from Australia posted Tue August 1, 2006:
My three great loves,aircraftcarrier,aeroplanes,and a submarine.

A visitor from Russian Federation posted Mon July 31, 2006:
Funny,unusual point of view, very informative. Thanks!

A visitor from Canada posted Mon July 31, 2006:
Never seen a carrier at its dock b4. Perfect shot

A visitor from Netherlands posted Sat July 29, 2006:
Wow,even a SR-71 on deck of the carrier!

A visitor from United States posted Fri July 28, 2006:
The only place in the world where you can stand on a WWII carrier and see the concord! Notice how the concord as almost as big as the sub and twice the size of the Blackbird on the Intrepid's bow.

A visitor from India posted Thu July 27, 2006:
Great photo....lots of expensive metal around here...whats the SR71 doing on the deck ? ...
is it an exhibit ? i see all different types ...

Truly A 5 Star Picture! I Could Look At This All Day! Look At The Diversity Of The Birds On That Carrier! And The Concorde Just Ices The Cake! Well Done Kamil! This Is Excellent!

Great contrast, the carrier and the concorde!

A visitor from United States posted Wed July 26, 2006:
Excellent shot! In October, the Intrepid will be towed to a dry dock for rennovations and the pier you see here will be completely rebuilt (to include, among other things, a permanent housing for Concorde). The whole process will take about 18 months, so be sure to stop by while you still can!

And, for the person wondering which submarine is docked off to the side -- it's the USS Growler.

Job well done, Kamil.

A visitor from United States posted Wed July 26, 2006:
Great! Like a "who's who" in aviation/navy history.
Even a Russian MIG is on the deck of the carrier...

A visitor from Poland posted Wed July 26, 2006:
Five stars Kamil. Wonderful shot. Superb even I have to say. What else can I say? Can't wait for another great ones you took in Big Apple:) Cani greets!!!
