Jenna: enterprise is home for now. for a couple weeks it will have its temporary home at jfk airport and then its journey continues. it will be loaded onto a barge and taken to the hudson river where it will be lifted from that barge onto the aircraft carrier the intrepid. that will happen in a couple weeks time. jon: think of the symbolism. the hudson river named after henry hudson who did so much exploring of this continent really before the nation was here. before, well, before we had an amer...

Winds at jfk are at 21 knots, gusting to 28 knots but theyre just about in line with runway 31-r, 31-r. that is war laura ingle is right now. it should be an easy landing. actually that, well i say easy. jenna: air quote it is easy? jon: what im saying they will not have a lot of crosswind to deal with. those gusts wont be exactly helpful but it does actually help the pilot just a bit to have some wind in your face because it adds to the wind speed over the wing so it gifts you lift that the eng...

Some idea of the scale of it, i mean, they look kind of small sometimes. it almost looks like a toy on that 747, but you could basically park a bus in the cargo bay of the space shuttles. they are enormous vehicles, and its going to be really exciting for millions of tourists to get to see this one in new york. tom jones, a fox news contributor, thank you. >> youre welcome. jenna: well, one year later, and the scars are still very visible from a deadly outbreak of twisters. walking the path to r...

You in a position where youre able to see the monitor and the views of enterprise as she comes in aboard this 747? >> i dont have a monitor in front of me right now, but i can imagine what it looks like when i used to be a test pilot out at edwards they were still transporting space shuttles to and from and so wed see the 747 with a space shuttle on its back taxi by and take off, returning the shuttles back to florida after they had landed out at edwards. its an amazing sight, an incredible feat...

Well take a little bit of time to dismount this plane because it take a little time to get it up on the 747. it is really remarkable to see what attaches it to the 747. you would imagine it would be more than that. obviously didnt go anywhere throughout the flight. jon: i am always amazed at the engineering, when you think about it, we went from the mercury and gemini and apollo programs with a cone-shaped capsule on top of those big atlas rockets, well in the case of the apollo program it was t...

Throttles back with all that extra drag the aircraft will slow down significantly faster than a clean 747. jon: youve got 14,500 feet of runway ahead so plenty of time for a nice slow approach and rollout. it just looks almost like it is hovering there, this thing. its going to be a fairly slow approach. there it is. with the trees in the foreground you get a little better idea of how quickly or how slowly this thing is moving. its been a slow fly-by and very inspiring one for all kind of new yo...
