Remarks: JFK hosts its first Space Shuttle (Enterprise, which actually never flew in space) as N905NA ferries it on its way to a stay at the Sea-Air-Space Museum at the USS Interprid in Manhattan. The craft will remain docked to the 747 for two weeks after which it will be taken by barge to Manhattan. Shown here is the jet just moments after touching down on the Bay Runway, 31L (1280x960 pixels).

Remarks: Having just completed a flyby of the reviewing stand the 747 has just turned into the area to park and give the invited guests a good view of the Enterprise. Even for long time aviation enthusiasts the sight of the shuttle sitting on top of that 747 is amazing.
Remarks: An exciting day at JFK would welcome in the Enterprise, soon to be on display at the Intrepid Museum in New York City. Another of Nasa's marvels will now officially become a New Yorker. What seemed to be an effortless endouver by the 747 that ferried her, it was a sight that just has to be witnessed.

Remarks: The NASA Shuttle Carrier Aircraft with the Shuttle Enterprise sits on the ramp at Dulles after the New York City delivery was cancelled this day due to weather. It's sister aircraft C-9 N932NA used as a pathfinder aircraft sits besides the pair.
Remarks: After a historic flight with the Shuttle Orbiter Discovery OV-103, around the Washington, DC monuments, the NASA Shuttle Carrier Aircraft crew are in awe of the massive crowds lining the taxiways at Dulles to welcome them to Washington Dulles Airport.
