I was landing in JFK yesterday and we flew over a small airfield or hanger near JFK's runway and I saw a concorde parked near the hanger doors. I am sure it was a concorde, so don't think I saw something else. I also know there is a concorde at the NYC Intrepid air and sea museum. Now, websites such as concordesst.com don't state that there are 2 concordes in New yOrk, so I wonder where this concorde came from?

The Concorde that you saw is infact the same one from the Intrepid museum. It was relocated to the Old Floyd Bennett Field while the Intrepid is being restored.

Not to be nit-picky, but the concorde isn't owned by the Intrepid Museum, British Airways still owns it and chose to put it on display there.
