NEW YORK — The British Airways Concorde jet is headed back to New York City’s Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
The supersonic jet holds the record for the fastest Transatlantic passenger flight in 1996 — just two hours and 52 minutes from Heathrow to John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The decommissioned plane has been at the museum since 2003. It was removed for the first time last August for an extensive renovation.
