The Concorde supersonic jet was a symbol of technological advancement and luxury during its time in service. The Concorde was operated by British Airways and Air France, and flew passengers at speeds of up to 1,354 mph (2,180 km/h), allowing them to cross the Atlantic Ocean in under four hours.

The Concorde made its first flight on March 2, 1969, and began commercial flights in 1976. Due to its high operating costs and the limited market for supersonic travel, the Concorde was retired from commercial service in 2003.

The Concorde on display at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City is a Concorde Alpha Delta (G-BOAD), which was retired from British Airways service in 2003. The Concorde was donated to the museum by British Airways in 2004 and has been on display since.

Visitors to the museum can get a close-up look at the Concorde, including the cockpit and passenger cabin, and learn about the history and technology of supersonic travel. The museum also offers tours of the Concorde, led by a retired Concorde pilot or engineer, which provide an in-depth look at the aircraft and its operations.

The Concorde represents one of the greatest achievement in the civil aviation history, it was the fastest and most expensive way to cross the Atlantic ocean. The story of Concorde, the challenges it faced and overcame is an interesting one and Intrepid museum is a great place to visit to learn more about it.
