MESSAGE FROM THE CO-CHAIRMEN AND PRESIDENT The Intrepid Sea Air & Space Museum welcomed nearly 900,000 visitors during fiscal year 2012 (May 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012). Visitors from all over the world were attracted to the Museum’s remarkable artifacts and an array of exhibitions and programs that were informative, provocative, and inspiring. This annual report offers a brief overview of the highlights of this year and provides an opportunity for us to thank many people who made it all possible.
IN S P IR ING INNO VAT ION Since its opening in 1982, the Museum has developed a reputation for excellence in telling the stories of the courageous, determined, and devoted individuals who worked on the ship, submarine, and aircraft exhibited here. Ever vigilant to expanding the stories we tell, two newly created tours were added this year; one about the accomplishments of African-Americans who served with bravery and distinction and another that offers guests the rare opportunity to enjoy the luxury of a Concorde first-class cabin. We mounted temporary exhibitions celebrating 100 years of American naval aviation, women in aviation in World War ll, the genius of ejection seats, and the age old tradition of building nautical scale models, which were all well received. Throughout the year, educators offered innovative programs about history and core concepts in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) to students at the Museum, in community settings throughout New York City, and around the world with video conferencing. This year, the Intrepid Museum expanded its already robust programs available to children and adults with special needs, including sight, hearing, learning and cognitive challenges, and those on the autism spectrum. The Intrepid Museum is a leader among museums offering programs to this special needs population—they are well received and attended, and considered models for replication in other museums. It had long been the vision of the Intrepid Museum that a space shuttle be added to its Complex. With the leadership support of the Board of Trustees and through the hard work of the staff, in April 2011, NASA awarded Enterprise, the original orbiter that paved the way for America’s successful Space Shuttle Program, to the Intrepid Museum. This fiscal year the Museum prepared for the exciting arrival of Enterprise in New York City, which occurred on April 23, 2012. In the coming year, we will be creating an exhibition about the men and women who worked at NASA on the Space Shuttle Program and STEM educational programming that will inspire future scientists and researchers.
A P P R E C I AT ION All of these initiatives, as well as the many others detailed throughout this report, are just the latest ways the Museum interprets and realizes its mission to honor our heroes, educate the public, and inspire our youth. We are privileged to tell the stories of individuals who inspire us every day. We are honored to be the stewards of the ship, submarine, aircraft, and space shuttle on which they proudly served. Thank you for the part you have played in supporting the Museum. We look with great excitement toward the future of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, and hope that you will continue to join us on this thrilling and ever-new journey of innovation.

MUSEUM OVERVIEW The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is the only museum where visitors can experience an historical aircraft carrier, the prototype space shuttle orbiter, the world’s fastest jets, and a top-secret surveillance Cold War era submarine. As one of New York City’s most original educational institutions, the Museum is using history and technology to inspire innovation. A century of technological firsts showcases what is possible, inspires people to dream, and informs them about modern advancements. The Museum was founded in 1982 with the acquisition of the Intrepid aircraft carrier, now a National Historic Landmark, which served tours of duty in World War II and Vietnam, and was a recovery vessel for the Gemini and Mercury space missions. In 1989, the Museum added the Growler, the world’s oldest existing nuclear missile-carrying submarine and the only American dieselpowered strategic missile submarine open to the public, which, along with the Lockheed A-12 Blackbird, the world’s fastest military jet and spy plane, exhibited on the Flight Deck of Intrepid since 1990, contributed to keeping us safe during the Cold War. In 2003 the Museum was awarded a British Airways Concorde,
the fastest commercial aircraft to ever cross the Atlantic. Over the years, we added twenty-seven authentically restored aircraft that were part of American history, including propeller-driven planes that flew in World War ll, jets that flew in Vietnam, and helicopters that recovered NASA astronauts. In 2011, the Museum received the Soyuz TMA-6 spacecraft, which traveled to the International Space Station, and NASA awarded the Museum Enterprise, the world’s first space shuttle. The following pages describe the acquisitions, exhibitions, and educational programs that occurred in fiscal year 2012 — all of which contribute to our efforts to advance innovation.

EXHIBITS AND COLLECTIONS
TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS Visitors of all ages, learning levels, and backgrounds enjoyed the special exhibitions created by the Museum’s Exhibition Department in fiscal year 2012.
PORTRAITS OF FLIGHT: Celebrating 100 Years of American Naval Aviation, 1911–2011
EJECT! OCTOBER 1, 2011 – FEBRUARY 5, 2012
MAY 29, 2011 — SEPTEMBER 6, 2012 created a fine art exhibition featuring 24 paintings by ASAA artists that told the story of the early trials, advancements, and accomplishments of the U.S. Navy from 1911 to the present.
The Intrepid Museum and the American Society of Aviation Artists (ASAA) partnered to celebrate the first 100 years of U.S. naval aviation. Together, they
The retrospective presented an extraordinary collection of original art from some of the finest artists of the genre, capturing naval aviation’s ability to evolve in order to meet changing military and political circumstances.
SHIP-SHAPE: Nautical Scale Models FEBRUARY 4, 2012 – JULY 8, 2012
A fascination with history, technology, and the sea has stirred ship model builders for thousands of years. Ship-Shape explored variations of two famed U.S. Navy ships— the frigate USS Constitution and the battleship USS New Jersey (BB-62)—and offered a peek at the art and craft of ship model building. Ship-Shape drew on the Museum’s collection, as well as loans from other institutions and collectors, to reveal the methods that model builders use to construct their highly detailed creations.
6 INTREPID SEA, AIR & SPACE MUSEUM COMPLEX
Highlights included impressive largescale models of USS Constitution and USS New Jersey that demonstrated scratch-building techniques. A modeler’s workbench offered a peek at the tools of the trade, while World War II nautical toys illustrated children’s fascination with ships. From wartime cardboard models to ships in bottles, and from plastic kits to scratch-built masterpieces, Ship-Shape highlighted the dexterity, ingenuity, and artistry embodied in these popular objects.
This exhibit told the fascinating history of ejection seats in high-performance military aircraft. Ever since the invention of the flying machine pilots have been mindful that this new technology was not without risk. As early as 1910, aviators were considering a means of quick escape if something should go wrong. The speed and altitude of military aircraft has increased continually during the past century and jet aircraft now fly beyond the speed of sound and at altitudes that approached the edge of Earth’s atmosphere. From its inception to today, the ejection seat remains the essential piece of equipment for successful escape from high performance aircraft. The ejection seat has evolved from a crude method of being shot clear of a stricken aircraft to a sophisticated flying machine in its own right. This exhibit explored the development history of ejection systems and explained the split-second workings of these life saving devices. Several seats were included in the display as well as other artifacts related to the survival needs of the air crewmen.
EXHIBITS AND COLLECTIONS
WOMEN IN AVIATION: World War II MARCH 1, 2012 – JULY 8, 2012 In 1910, Raymonde de Laroche of France became the first woman to earn a solo pilot’s license. Just three decades later, the world was engulfed in a terrible war. Aviation promised to play a critical role in the conflict. Seeing an opportunity to contribute their talents, female pilots lobbied their governments for a chance to serve. Women in Aviation: World War II examined the wartime contributions of these pioneering women. American women took to the skies under the auspices of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, the Civil Air Patrol and aircraft manufacturing companies such as Grumman.
VIETNAM MEMORIAL WALL From November 8–20, 2011, the Dignity Memorial® Vietnam Wall, a traveling, three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., was exhibited for the first time ever in Manhattan. On display twenty-four hours a day, free of charge on the Museum’s Pier 86, it become a place of healing and remembrance for thousands of visitors. The 240-foot long, eight foot high, faux-granite replica contains the names of more than 58,000 Americans who died or are missing in Vietnam. The Museum offered special events and programming centered on the Wall, veterans and the history of the Vietnam War era. A special Veterans Day memorial ceremony included the opening of the Vietnam Wall.
Female pilots ferried airplanes from base to base. They tested powerful warplanes fresh off the assembly line and flew patrol missions around the country. Behind the scenes, female engineers helped produce rugged warplanes. More than many women, female pilots challenged traditional ideas of what a woman could accomplish. At war’s end, society expected women to return to their customary lives as wives and homemakers, and most women who hoped to continue their flying careers found little opportunity. Decades passed before America’s female aviators received formal recognition for their wartime service. Women in Aviation: World War II featured original artifacts including flight suits and gear, uniforms, pilot log books, archival materials, and photographs. Vintage film footage showed women breaking records, winning air races, and training to serve their country.

EXHIBITS AND COLLECTIONS
COLLECTIONS The Museum’s collections provide historical, technological, and contemporary context for the Museum’s major artifacts.
AIRCRAFT On May 21, 2011, the Museum unveiled the Grumman F9F (AF-9J) Cougar, the newest plane to join the Museum’s elite collection of aircraft. Restoration of the Cougar began in 2009 with a team of experts and

volunteers who clocked more than 2,000 hours into the project. The Cougar was built at Grumman’s Bethpage, New York, factory and delivered to the Navy in September 1955. The aircraft served with fighter squadrons in California and later acted as a chase plane at a training center in Texas. The aircraft was retired from active service in 1965 and was displayed at Airplane Park in Wall Township, New Jersey, for nearly 30 years before being acquired by the Museum.

ARTIFACTS In August 2011, the Museum completed structural enhancements, repairs, and a repainting of a Sikorsky HRS-2 Chickasaw helicopter, an aircraft of great importance to U.S. naval aviation history. This aircraft gave the Museum the opportunity to tell the story of the important role this type of helicopter played in the development of helicopter tactics during the 1950s and 1960s. The paint scheme, as it appeared when in service with the U.S. Navy in the late 1950s, is an important tool in our interpretation of the Cold War story. On April 18, 2012, in preparation for the arrival of the space shuttle Enterprise, three historic aircraft were removed from the Flight Deck of Intrepid. A Supermarine Scimitar F.1 British Royal Navy fighter bomber, a Douglas F3D-2 (F-10) Skyknight and a Mikoyan Gurevich MIG-15 aircraft were each lifted by crane and placed onto the pier, then lifted again and placed onto a barge for transportation to their new home at the Empire State Aerosciences Museum in Glenville, New York.
Highlights of artifacts added to the Museum collections in fiscal 2012 included Triple Stix, a 1967 Vietnam diary jointly kept by four junior pilots in Attack Squadron 34. Jim VanLiere, Brian Walker, Ben Heald, and Bernard “Bernie” Fipp recorded their in air missions and on-ship antics while living in the stateroom 0111, nicknamed “triple stix”. The diary was jointly donated by the surviving authors and was exhibited in the recent exhibition 30 Years of Collecting: Treasures from Intrepid’s Collection. The Museum also acquired numerous pieces of space shuttle cockpit instruments through the U.S. General Service Administration. The instrumentation was used to reconstruct part of Enterprise’s cockpit for display. Former Rockwell and NASA employee Robert Dilts has been a repeat artifact donor to the Museum. The Dilts archive at the Museum includes planning
Transportation of Enterprise, from the Dilts collection.

MEET THE PILOTS DAY On June 25, 2011, Museum guests heard from top military pilots who flew aircraft displayed at the Museum. Meet the Pilots Day was a great opportunity for Museum guests to learn about history from the pilots who made it. The day began with a riveting panel discussion moderated by former Top Gun instructor Mike Barger and participating pilots Sam Folsom, World War II Marine Corps, FJ-3 Fury pilot and Museum volunteer; Rollie Shea, Vietnam War pilot who flew combat in the A-4B Skyhawk in the Museum’s collection; Lew Chatham retired Rear Admiral who flew the F-11F Tiger as a Blue Angel; Brent Richardson who flew the F-16 Falcon during Desert Storm; and Frank Murray, USAF and CIA spy plane pilot who flew the A-12 Blackbird. During the afternoon, the pilots made their way to either the Flight Deck or Hangar Deck and positioned themselves at the aircraft they flew, where they talked with Museum guests about their experiences. Also in attendance was Museum volunteer John Gill, who was stationed at the Avenger, the aircraft type that he flew during World War II.
Pilots Mike Barger, Rollie Shea, Frank Murray, Lew Chatham, John Gill, and Brent Richardson.

PEARL HARBOR DAY December 7, 2011 Pearl Harbor survivors from the New York metropolitan area and former USS Intrepid crewmembers participated in a wreathlaying ceremony to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The ceremony included remarks from Pearl Harbor survivor Dan Fruchter, Rear Admiral and President of SUNY Maritime College Wendi Carpenter, Reverend William Kalaidjain, Rabbi Charles Davidson and Patricia Beene, CFO of the Museum.
SALUTE TO WOMEN In honor of Women’s History Month in March, the Intrepid Museum launched a 31-day celebration. Intrepid’s Salute to Women was created in recognition of women who have served our nation – both in military uniform and out – with a series of events designed to honor, educate, and inspire the next generation of female leaders.
Despite the fact that not a single woman ever served aboard Intrepid during its active duty, Intrepid served as the focal point for Women’s History Month events in March, presenting a series of themed weeks that included women inspired lectures, family programming, educational demonstrations, and a new special exhibit. Intrepid celebrated women and conveyed to girls that science, technology, engineering, and math are important for our country’s future.

A complete copy of these financial statements is available at intrepidmuseum.org or can be obtained from the Finance Department at One Intrepid Square, New York, NY 10036 or by calling 646-381-5250. The Summary Financial Statements presented below report on the Museum’s results of operations for its fiscal years 2012 and 2011 (May 1 – April 30). The Statement of Financial Activities reflects Changes in Net Assets in the amount of $1,424,943 and ($1,752,914) for FY 2012 and 2011. Non-cash depreciation and amortization
