Here are some photos of the Space Shuttle Enterprise ridding piggy-back on a Boeing 747 as it passed over New York City this morning on its way to JFK International Airport.

It will eventually make its way to it’s permanent home at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum.

UPDATE 1: Gothamist has also posted some great photos of the Space Shuttle flying over NYC.

UPDATE 2: Pete Pachal has some photos of the Space Shuttle Enterprise arrival event at JFK, including a couple of Leonard Nimoy who was in attendance.
