Shuttle Enterprise to New York April 23rd, 2012

[Speedbird1]

I should have posted my photography questions in the Photography section. This section is for posting about NYC visitors. Again, I apologize. I have 10 years of terrific Hi8 videos in my collection showing aircraft movements around JFK back in the 90's. They will all get dumped after I am gone. It includes the Pokemon ANA, TWA and other treasures. I know they could be transferred to digital but I have no equipment or time. Most were taken from T3 at JFK before 9-11 when nobody bothered me. I don't even know if I could find them anymore in my collection. Most are 2 hours long!

Moose that is a very smart bird you were talking too. I would listen to what he is chirping

I get the impression they don't want this being a public event

I don't have the equipment or the time either, but I'm sure you can find someone willing to do this for you. Do you have any Concorde footage?

No, I was also kept in the dark about when they repaired the Concorde's Radome before her return to the Intrepid. They didn't want the press or public to see her without her world-famous nose intact! I finally saw her sail on her barge up the Hudson River ressembling Cleopatra (Elizabeth Taylor's) voyage to Rome to be with her beloved Caesar. I have a suspicion that Enterprise will be hoisted off the SCA either during the night or early 1 morning. She will then probably get placed back into the hangar as protection from the elements until early June. We'll miss a rare opportunity. Only those who operate the crane and JFK workers will know. We will probably miss the departure of the SCA, N905NA back to Cal. as well.

On my way to JFK to see if Shuttle atop SCA.

[eric8669]

Yes, its still atop SCA.

[Speedbird1]

Enterprise stil sitting atop SCA. Cranes nearby. Lots of activity. Front cabin door of 747 open and stairs in constant use. Very windy. Soon the Orbiter will be de-tached. But when?

BTW, is there an accessible parking lot where you can park quick to get a photo of the Shuttle on top of the SCA ??

Good question Chris. I have to drop my wife off in Forest Hills Saturday and am planning to scoot on over to JFK to see what I can see.

Yes there is, it's on the corner of South Service Rd and Joseph Hock Memorial Drive. that's where I parked and took the images posted on the top of page 42

Joe, Thanks for the info. I see the roads on Mapquest and wanted to know if it's the lot
on the North side or South side of Joseph Hock Memorial Drive and if the entrance is off
the South Service Rd. or JHMD ?? Thanks again !

Hi all,

I'm a long time lurker/short time poster

Like tiny123 above, I'm a little late in the game, but here's my contribution:
