After witnessing the floral beauty of the conservatory garden at Central park, we came to our next destination, Intrepid Sea, Air and Space museum. It is a military and maritime museum in New York City. The museum was founded in the year 1982. The museum is famous as it showcases some historic artefacts from the military history of United States. It has selected exhibits from US Air Force, US Navy, US Marine Corps, and US Army.
The museum is a proof of America’s innovation and bravery. The museum features the historic aircraft carrier Intrepid, and other jets and missile submarines. The museum was founded when it acquired the legendary USS Intrepid which is a National Historic Landmark and has served tour duties in World War II and also the Vietnam War. I have been a big fan of war movies and Army so seeing this aircrafts and submarines in front of me was a breath taking experience.
Some of the historic and landmark features in the museum were the Space Shuttle Pavilion. It was America’s first ever space shuttle and successful space program. Among many other items of display, one is the Lockheed A12 Blackbird which is considered to be the world’s fastest military Jet and spy plane. We were quite amazed to see this Jet in front of our eyes; it was the star attraction of the museum. Another such beauty was the British Airways Concorde, which is the fastest ever commercial aircraft in the world.

The US Army’s submarine Growler is also there in the museum. The submarine is the only American diesel powered which is open for the public. Among other exhibits in the museum there is US Army’s Vietnam era UH1 Iroquios, US Marine Corps’ F4 Phantom II, Av-8C harrier and AH 1J Sea Cobra. These are the significant and historic exhibits which people come to see specifically at the museum. We were quite amazed and enthralled by these stunning War beauties.
Apart from these there is also a replica of NASA’s Aurora 7 mercury capsule and US Coast Guard’s Sikorsky. Overall the visit to the museum was very informative and was testimony to the military prowess of United States of America.
We were now ready for our next destination, the Chrysler building of New York.
