It was floating out on a pier of Weeks Marine in Jersey City before beginning its hours-long journey back home to the Intrepid Sea and Space Museum by crane on the West Side after months of restoration.
The airplane got a fresh coat of paint and other repairs from exposure to the year-round elements during a months-long restoration project at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

The plane arrives at Pier 86 after 9 a.m.
