I was an aviation enthusiast for most of my life. When I heard that the Enterprise Shuttle would fly-over NYC back on June 10, 1983, I wanted to view this spectacle. I had to go to work that day, but managed to get to the roof of the building after 2 PM. They said it would fly-over the North Bronx at 2:25 then head to LGA, pass over Queens, then head to the VZ Bridge. I thought she was on her way to the Paris Air Show but I was mistaken. She was enroute to Scott AF Base in IL after passing Toronto. The sight was breathtaking but I never brought my camera or binoculars to work. It was a sight I always remembered. Did anybody else reading this see it as well? This should be repeated next week but I don't think the flight will visit Brooklyn. There could be disappointment if we enthusiasts miss this due to a low ceiling or a change of flight plans. Good luck to us all. I wish she would arrive using the VOR 13R approach as viewers could see this from the Brooklyn shoreline. It's the longest runway but she could come-in on 31L. I think the 22's/4's are too short so they are not a good choice.
