The Enterprise never flew in space but it was "dropped" from the 747 to test landing an unpowered vehicle. It had been on display at the New Orleans World's Fair. It was then flown to Washington DC where it is on display at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. In April 2012 it was flown to NY where it will be on display on the Intrepid.
