"Enterprise, which was used for approach and landing tests in the late 1970s, will move from its current exhibit at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va. to New York next April. The shuttle will be flown from Washington's Dulles Airport to JFK International Airport atop NASA's modified Boeing 747 shuttle carrier aircraft.

Enterprise will then be transported during the summer of 2012 by barge to the Intrepid museum complex located at Pier 86 of Hudson River Park, and placed on the aircraft carrier's flight deck under a protective covering. The public will have the opportunity to see the shuttle while visiting the museum."
