Concorde G-BOAD

 

This is an Aerospatiale/BAC Concorde on Pier 86 next to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.

The Concorde was a supersonic airliner that was operated by British Airways and Air France from 1976 through 2003. This particular aircraft (G-BOAD) holds the world record for a transatlantic flight from JFK to Heathrow. While the Intrepid museum ship and its pier were undergoing renovations a few years ago, this aircraft was on display at Floyd Bennett Field Gateway National Recreation Area in Brooklyn.

This was taken with a handheld (string monopod) Sputnik on Kodak E100G.
