The aircraft is expected to arrive at the Statue of Liberty at about 11:45 PM on Saturday evening, July 6, 2013, take photos for approximately one hour, and then land at JFK Airport in Queens at 2:00 AM Sunday morning, July 7, 2013. The aircraft operates at a very slow speed of about 25 knots (29 mph).”
