A British Airways Concorde floated up the East River on a barge to be returned to its museum home after a months-long refurbishment.
After the supersonic flights were retired in 2003, one of the 17 jets that flew across the Atlantic was housed in the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in Manhattan.It has been a staple exhibit at the museum and allows visitors the opportunity to take-in the power of the aircraft and learn about its history.
New York is home to the British Airways Concorde which holds the record for the fastest transatlantic crossing by a passenger aircraft, at 2 hours 52 minutes and 59 seconds from London Heathrow to JFK airport in New York.The Concorde was the only supersonic commercial jet that ever flew, boasting a top speed of 1,354mph. Flights were between three-and-a-half to four hours long. Today's large airliners fly at about 600mph, and a London to New York flight takes eight hours on average.
