On November 25, 2003, James G. Kennedy & Co., Inc. was most proud to have been a part of the historical event of transporting the Concorde from John F. Kennedy Airport to it's final home at the Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum. The task at hand was great, but so too was the history behind this infamous aircraft, retired by British Airways after 27 years of transatlantic flight. The "Alpha Delta", just one of Concorde's fleet of 7, made the fastest transatlantic crossing, in just 2 hours, 52 minutes and 59 seconds. The Concorde was then the fastest commercial airliner, and, though retired, to this date, her speed has not been matched commercially.

After many months of precision planning, James G. Kennedy & Co., Inc. along with the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey and Bay Crane prepared Concorde for her final journey on a barge to the Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum.

We at James G. Kennedy & Co., Inc. were honored that our reputation in our field, allowed for us to take part in this epic event.

The details were well planned and the move went as scheduled without a hitch. Concorde was watched by all floating down the Hudson River in the early morning hours on November 25, 2003, perhaps her slowest journey yet. Alpha Delta arrived at the Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum at approximately 9:15 a.m. The Intrepid held a welcoming ceremony/press conference to share with us all, Concorde's new home.

On June 26, 2004, the Concorde Exhibit opened its doors to the general public, providing various forms of information on transatlantic crossing and allowing too, tours of this fine, well-respected aircraft.
