Space Shuttle Transition and Retirement engineers Saturday completed the final steps to ready Space Shuttle Enterprise for its flight to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. The space shuttle's scheduled arrival in New York has been pushed back because of possible bad weather. NASA says Monday's planned arrival of the shuttle has been postponed "until further notice." Enterprise will go on permanent display at the Intrepid Sea Air and Space Museum in New York in June.
