Concorde jet gets floated down the Hudson River after months of refurbishment
This airplane has the world record for flying from uh New York to London and I was the captain of that airplane so the 2 hours 52 59 seconds 52 59 seconds was um we did it together back in 1996 me and my crew yeah I’ve never seen it look
So good I mean it is a beautiful beautiful job that the interpret have managed to do I as I said when I used to fly it it didn’t look like that
After undergoing extensive refurbishment, a Concorde aircraft has been floated on a barge down the Hudson River in New York to return to the museum where it resides. This Franco-British jet, which last flew across the Atlantic in 2003, had been housed at the Intrepid Museum until it was removed for refurbishment in August 2023; it has now been returned to the museum. Leslie Scott, a former Concorde pilot said: ‘I’ve never seen it look so good. I mean, it is a beautiful, beautiful job that the Intrepid have managed to do. As I said, when I used to fly it, it didn’t look like that’.

Return the concorde gaddamned😮
Why is a British jet in the US
You are an icon in aviation, Miss Concorde. One day, you could even fly again. May she stand in aviation for all time!
An elegant ship, from a more civilized time
Most beautiful machine in nyc
Our Sonic aircraft is back!
Closent thing to flying for the concorde
Mayday
b i r b
Le Concorde’
i have been on one of these phenomenal aircraft. its astonishing
"MUSUEM", I always thought I was a terrible speller, but this takes the cake.
…and you're British? Aren't you supposed to be better?
Not the first time a plane has floated in the hudson…
It looked better flying over my house. Still at least its being taken care of
wrong, the black bird has the world record for the fastest new york to london flight. This has the fastest COMMERICAL FLIGHT from newyork to london
I thought they were gonna fly it …
Down the Hudson River bro new what he was up too
A lot of me me me me with that captain….. surprising for a Brit
An absolute marvel of technology even today!
Sully could never.
The 2nd time a plane has been on that river
It should be up in the air flying. But someone got jealous of Europe's domination in fast air travel and started making up reasons why it was a bad airplane.
Yet another plane in the Hudson😂😂😂
I've been on concorde 101 at RAF Duxford
Imagine just having your daily bike ride and seeing that
I hope those straps didn't hurt it's neck? 🤔
well that’s not the first plane on the Hudson 💀
best aircraft to ever be built
Feels weird seeing a Concorde back in the air
“Musuem”?
"Sir, another plane has crash landed in the Hudson River"
I don't know why there's a fokin plane floating over a river but OK murica things I guess
droop the snoot
that title made me think someone dumb enough to dump a Concorde down the river
I love the Concorde, just yesterday I found out this was in New York. Would love to see one of these someday. Under 3 hours New York to London is insane!
A relic of a bygone era. An era that will never come back. The US and UK military have technologies that are way better than jet engines but they will never give this technology to the public.
Spelled museum wrong 😂
i was walking round in paris right and i heard a big crash after concorde flew over me very wierd
What's the reason it was retired?
Ignore for (insert bad thing)
Repost for Concorde on boat
Sully:
Planes love the hudson
I wish Supersonic would return to airtravel, not the narrow cabin 20 hour flights like sardines we have today, or even worst, the EV BS they trying to push!
Hmmmmm
