NASA’s 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft with Enterprise mounted atop flew at a relatively low altitude over various parts of the New York City metropolitan area near a variety of landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty and Intrepid. After the flyover it landed at JFK International Airport.The Federal Aviation Administration coordinated the flight.
