It will be flown on the back of a modified Boeing 747 to Los Angeles International Airport. It will later be transported to the Science Center in Exposition Park (near USC). It is roughly a twelve-mile trip from the airport to Exposition Park.
I attended the Endeavour's landing at Edwards Air Force Base following its maiden flight into space. I will mark my calendar to save the date to view the shuttle as it is moved to Exposition Park.

Many newspapers have reported Endeavour will actually arrive in Los Angeles in mid to late September on LAX's southernmost runway, the longest at the airport. It will sit in a hangar donated by United Airlines for prep work for about two weeks before being wheeled out one early morning for the crawl to the Science Center. Officials said it may be moved on a weekend so more people can go out to see it.
