Where to watch Space Shuttle Enterprise in NY today

Enroute to its new home at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, Space Shuttle Enterprise is tentatively scheduled to fly to New York on Friday, April 27, between 10:30am and 11:30am, riding piggyback on a Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft.

This once-in-a-lifetime flight will be visible to millions of people as the Shuttle/Carrier combo fly over much of the New York City area at low altitude (1000-3000 ft) before landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The five boroughs will see the most action, but areas as far north as Tarrytown and Nyack, NY, and as far east as Westbury, NY, will get some shuttle love as well.

Think anyone will notice? The only ones "looking up" will be tourists.  LL~

What will be really neat is how they're going to get it onboard!

If you do a little bit every day it will get done, or you can do it tomorrow.

Apparently it did several low passes.

I visited the intrepid in July last year it was fantastic.

My brother gave me a call tonight and told me that he saw the Enterprise fly by from Jones Beach.
