Space Shuttle Enterprise Takes Flight, For the Last Time

Patch took a little field trip to the Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center today to try to nab some sweet shots of the space shuttle Enterprise as she made her entrance to New York City. 

Our success was middling—the shuttle and Boeing 747 toting her never tacked especially close to Midtown—but Brooklyn photographer Tom Prendergast shot a pretty stellar one, currently featured in the gallery above. (Prendergast notes that the photo was color-corrected, giving it the effect of looking like a painting.)

A bit closer to the planned flight path, the folks at Governor's Island snapped this pic—perhaps the best look one could get of the tandem flight without actually gliding alongside it.

We bet you got a few good pictures of your own, so feel to add them to the gallery yourself, or send them to paul.leonard@patch.com and we'll post 'em for you.
