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
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.
