The Intrepid





The Intrepid Museum Website



On Thursday the Big Apple Greeters had a field trip to the Intrepid Museum.
I am pretty sure I had been there before.  But I was probably worried the whole time about who would push who into the Hudson.

Not a problem with the Big Apple Greeters.  
We are a very well behaved group.

Ron Guggenheim took us around.  The tour took a little over an hour and a half and Ron filled us in on much of the history around the museum and everything to do with the re-purposed airplane carrier. 

But there is much more to see, including the Enterprise, the prototype for the Space Shuttle, a nuclear submarine, the Concorde airplane and in interactive experience  area.
