A friend of a friend visited the USS Intrepid this morning, and got some great photos of the airplanes!

I’m wondering why they have an F-16 at the Intrepid museum. F-16’s don’t fly off of carriers. Oh well. Nice pics.

Neither did the A-12, but it still is a great place to show these planes in the city.

I wanna go! I wanna go!

Mmmmmm … A-4 Scooter

And is that the prototype for the A-6F before the upgrade program got cancelled? Neat stuff.

Yeah, that’s probably the only Mig-21 that’s ever graced the flight deck of a U.S. carrier. Nice pics - I’ll have to visit the _Intrepid_ some day. Hmmm, perhaps next January…
