Concorde, the world’s fastest commercial aircraft, has been making a rare journey – floating down New York’s Hudson River.

The British Airways Concorde, one of only 20 of the supersonic aircraft to ever fly, has been en route back to NYC’s Intrepid Museum after being sanded and recoated during several months of restoration. It was due to be unloaded by crane early on Thursday at the river’s Pier 86, with the event streamed live on the museum’s social media. The aircraft, call sign G-BOAD, first took to the skies in 1976 and once flew a service operated jointly by British Airways and Singapore Airlines, uniquely wearing the liveries of both carriers for a time, according to HeritageConcorde.com
