Shuttle Enterprise Over New York
Explanation: What's that in the background? Two famous New York City icons stand tall in the

flies
the space shuttle Enterprise --
perched atop

can visit the
test space shuttle
at the
Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum
on the West Side of Manhattan starting July 19. Neptune & Vulcan
