Intrepid Museum
A museum housed on an aircraft carrier that happens to also be a national historic monument. The USS Intrepid actually served in World War II and Vietnam and helped out NASA in recovery missions.
Stacked with cool aircraft, including the Lockheed A-12 Blackbird and the Concord, plus space shuttles. It’s docked right on the Hudson River, waiting for you to come aboard and enter the Danger Zone.
