The British Airways Concorde is set to return to the Intrepid Museum this spring following a months-long restoration project at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The legendary supersonic jet — which set the record for the fastest commercial airline flight between New York and London at a little under three hours — was removed from the museum in August last year.
The estimated $1.6 million renovation involved hauling the Concorde to GMD Shipyard via barge, where a massive tent was erected to cover the hulking vehicle, museum officials told The Post.
Over several months, the Concorde was stripped down to its original primer coating with a high-pressure wash before a team of GMD staff spray painted the supersonic passenger plane with the original colors and decals.
Last year’s paint job was the first major repair to the Concorde, which has been stationed at the West Side institution since the jet was retired in 2003.
British Airways and Air France, which flew the jets, blamed plummeting demand and soaring maintenance costs as the primary reasons behind their retirement.
