Getting to know the Intrepid Museum in New York

El Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum está dedicated to exposing the military history of the USA inside this aircraft carrier that is considered a historical monumentórich national and has parallel attractions such as visiting the Concorde (it was closed when i went), Growler submarine and más.

I always recommend arriving at the opening of the museums, así There are fewer people and you have space to take better photos, but alsoén dependá of what you want to see, For this reason, making use of the map that they give you for free is key..

If you want to see más details, I share a video that I preparedé, don't forget tooén subscribe to my channel on YouTube:

Follow the biosecurity and distancing measures in great detail, hereí all were respected to the letter.

Gainán time if you buy the ticket in advanceón in página web, but alsoéYou can't buy it at the counter, Remember that in times of pandemic if the capacity isá full, dutyán wait if you don't haveíhave booked the ticket.

On my visit I went first to the aircraft carrier starting from the Hangar Deck, where a lot of history of the ship is foundón, planes, helixópteros and the simulation areaón.

I will not deny it, what májust wantíLet's see it was on the Flight Deck, where the largest núgroup of airplanes on displayón are found, así that I hurriedé to go up and start seeing each of the planes in details.

On this same Deck you can see the restoration area.ónumber of aircraft, the space zone and see the hand bridge of the aircraft carrier.

For those who like space, there is a pavilionón with space history featuring the Space Shuttle Enterprise, I'm not going to talk much about this today, but if you want to know más of this topic can read this post about it Kennedy Space Center.

Something that I likedó It was a lot to be able to enter the heartón of the Intrepid and meet cómo was the bridge and the technologyíto of the élittle.

Without having it in the initial plans, but when he saw him he was forced to do it, Entering the Growler Submarine is highly recommended., ¿cuáHow many times in life can you be inside one who servedó during the french waría?

This submarine hasíto nuclear capacity and securityún tell the story there is no lackó opportunity for your crew toón if preparedó para la imminent situationón to launch, luckily for the whole planet, this was not necessary.

No podíto close this visit without visiting the Concorde as point mámaximum of pleasure AvGeek. It's aviówhat does he wantó for British Airways is located in the museum and offers an incredibleíble perspective of the magnitude of engineeringíto that one élittle, At least for those of us who couldn't see it fly, it's something very gratifying..
