Although not yet official, the Intrepid Museum plans to place the prototype Space Shuttle Enterprise not on the pier next to Concorde but across 12th Ave. in a newly-constructed protected plexiglass enclosure. They are taking collections to help defray the cost. We originally were told that it would be placed on the pier near the Concorde. I thought there was enough space for both on the pier, but evidently "higher-ups" didn't agree. Regarding the Concorde, I am still unable to find any info or photos of the repairs done to the radome on the nose. Were the repairs done in Brooklyn? I guess that British Airways paid for the repairs. Is the radome a new one or the same one that got broken-off a few years ago at Floyd Bennett?
