Shuttle Enterprise Flight To New York (201204270016HQ)

    Prev Next

    Space shuttle Enterprise, mounted atop a NASA 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA), is seen as it flies near the Statue of Liberty, Friday, April 27, 2012, in New York. Enterprise was the first shuttle orbiter built for NASA performing test flights in the atmosphere and was incapable of spaceflight. Originally housed at the Smithsonian's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, Enterprise will be demated from the SCA and placed on a barge that will eventually be moved by tugboat up the Hudson River to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in June.

      Check the map location and zoom in. This view is available from the downtown Jersey City waterfront.

      I realized the geotag must be wrong. Jersey City is north of Liberty Island. To get this angle, you have to be further down the harbor, on one of the long docks out of Bayonne.
