They did a sweet low pass over the runway before bringing it in. Leonard Nimoy was there and had a few words to say about how Enterprise was originally to be called Constitution, but Trekkies went on a letter-writing campaign to have it changed. Awesome stuff!

Here's the low pass (make sure to go 1080p:

I did too Sessholvlaru, I truly did. I sure have alot of mixed feelings about seeing the end of a glorious chapter in history though; no matter what the reasons. Regardless of that, thankyou very much for posting the video's !

Though, I have to wonder if some little child was riding on the train in video 2 and looked out and said "Mommy! Mommy! I can see a Space Ship!" and the parent just patting their head with a "Of course you can, kiddo." never lifting their eyes off their newspaper...
