revrnd Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 What era is the Intrepid? I've been on the USS Yorktown @ Patriots Point in Charleston. Pretty impressive vessel. Stopped by the USS North Carolina in Wilmington too. Looking @ the folks in the last pic & the Concorde doesn't look as big as I thought it would be.

dweese Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 The Intrepid was built during World War 2, then refitted a number of times over the years and was in service until 1974. It was also the recovery ship for the Mercury and Gemini missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronOrange Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Nice trip. Thanks for visiting. Glad to see it works both ways. I try not to go to the "City". I like to spend my disposable income up north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome to join us for as much or as litlle as you can or like. Talk more in late Autumn. Thanks Akron. Loops from Moosenee. Wow! In a heartbeat. More fantastic pics of NYC, DW. I forgot that 2014 is the first cold weather, outdoor game in a while. As a Bills fan, it's the way football should be played. Outdoors, in the cold ( but less "3rd and 2" from the announcer, which I hear too often in Orchard Park). The Bills will enjoy playing in NYC on Groundhog Day, 2014.
