Concorde Airliner Lifted Off New York's Intrepid Museum With Crane For Restoration

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 09: Workers place the British Airways Concorde on a harness at the Intrepid Museum on August 09, 2023 in New York City. The British Airways Concorde, the fastest commercial aircraft in the world, which has been on display at the Intrepid Museum was removed off the museum for a scheduled three-month restoration project. The restoration process will consist of the removal of its paint coating by stripping it down to the bare metal, sanding, and re-coating, and bringing back the original colors and markings of the plane. The museum also plans to renovate a section of Pier 86 adjacent to where the jet is located and create an additional 4,000 square feet of parkland for public use. (Photo by Michael M.
