The Concorde supersonic aircraft has returned to its home at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum at Pier 86 in Manhattan following a journey by boat along the Hudson River.
The plane has undergone a months-long refurbishment period at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The plane is one of a fleet of seven once owned by British Airways.

The Intrepid Museum's said Concorde, the fastest commercial aircraft in the world, has been a museum staple since its arrival to Pier 86 in 2003.
"The months-long restoration project included removal of the aircraft's paint coating, sanding, and recoating, using the same colours and markings that made Concorde a true aviation legend," it said.
Public tours of the jet will resume on 4 April, museum officials said.
