The Intrepid has one of the best jet-age, Cold War aircraft collections in the country. The museum has 30 aircraft that include two of the fastest in the world, the super-secret A-12 Blackbird spy plane and the Anglo-French luxury airliner Concorde, as well as early helicopters that cruise at today’s highway speeds and even slower.

Unlike Soviet space capsules, which were designed to return to land, American Mercury space capsules were designed to land in the ocean. Naval ships such as the Intrepid participated in the recovery of these capsules and their astronauts in the 1960s

Maintaining and operating the Intrepid required the hard work and talents of each member of the ship’s 3,000-person crew. Sailors like Ely Benjamin, a decorated member of the ship’s World War II crew, kept the ship afloat and running smoothly, even in times of combat. Pilots like Anthony Nargi, who shot down a North Vietnamese MiG, flew mission after mission from the ship. Astronauts including Scott Carpenter, commander of the Mercury 3 space mission, walked across the ship’s flight deck after returning from their pioneering missions. The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum makes their stories come to life.
