Final Flight: The Story of a WWII Corsair Intrepid Museum

22 Dec 2023 — 22 Dec 2024

On March 18, 1945, a young, newly married naval aviator flew from the USS Intrepid on his first combat mission; it would be his last. He and his F4U-1D Corsair were shot down near the city of Saiki on Japan’s southern main island of Kyushu. Fifty years later, a Japanese fisherman found what is thought to be the remnants of his Corsair.

Intrepid Museum

4.6 / 5 (1,151 reviews)

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.

If you ask questions to the people who are there to be asked, you'll have a good time. They really know what they are saying and they love doing it.
