NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - An aircraft that served aboard the U.S.S. Intrepid during the Cold War is back home, decades later.
The Douglas F4D Skyray was lifted by a crane onto the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum on Manhattan's West Side.
The plane was originally deployed on the Intrepid between 1961-62.

The plane traveled for about 30 hours on a barge from the Connecticut River all the way to the Hudson River.
