Originally to be named 'Constitution' but the force of the Star Trek lobby got it changed to 'Enterprise' (and rightly so in my opinion). Used for the Approach and Landing Test program consisting of three taxi teast, five captive-inactive flights, three captive-active flights and five free flights. Arrived at Dulles in November 1985 for preservation.
