The The Intrepid Museum maintains an extensive aircraft collection spanning the history of flight in the second half of the twentieth-century, from World War II to the latest supersonic jet fighters.
The hangar deck has an original TBM Avenger torpedo bomber (on long term loan from the National Museum of Aviation) of the type that originally flew from the Intrepid during World War II.
On the flight deck and portside aircraft elevator, America’s modern military cutting edge is represented by a Navy F-14 Tomcat (on long term loan from the National Museum of Naval Aviation), an Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon (on long term loan from the National Museum of the United States Air Force), a Marine Corps aV-8C Harrier (on long term loan from the United States Marine Corps Air-Ground Museum), and an A-12 Blackbird spy plane(on long term loan from the National Museum of the United States Air Force) formerly in service with the CIA. During your visit, you’ll also find international air power on display with a British F-1 Scimitar (on long term loan from the National Museum of Naval Aviation, Royal Navy of Great Britain), a French Entendard IV-M, and a Polish MiG-21.
The Intrepid’s helicopter collection includes two Vietnam-era UH-1 Hueys, a Marine Corps AH-1J sea Cobra (on long term loan from the United States Marine Corps Air-Ground Museum), and a fully restored Army AH-1G Cobra gunship.
You can browse through selections from our collection using the drop-down menu (above to the left, or below) — but to truly appreciate their beauty and design, and the history of military aviation, you’ll have to pay us a visit and see for yourself!
