"Concorde's Return: Journey Along the Hudson River"
TL;DR
A Concorde jet, retired in 2003, has been floated down the Hudson River in New York after undergoing months of refurbishments. The British Airways plane, now restored with its original colors and markings, was transported to the Intrepid Museum in Manhattan last August. The Concorde holds the record for the fastest transatlantic crossing by a passenger aircraft and was the only supersonic commercial jet to fly internationally. Public tours of the jet at the museum will resume on 4 April.
