What is everyone's favorite "Enterprise-D flies through space" establishing shot?

Not the 4 foot model anyway, looks like a toy.

The first one from Encounter at Farpoint. I don't think they used that much during the rest of the show.

Same

It wasn't used often! I think it showed up for the last time in the episode where Data loses his memory on a medieval world while retrieving radioactive crystals.

I like the Enterprise-D (Galaxy-X Class) with the three warp nacelles, climbing vertically onto the screen to save the day in the Best of Both Worlds. The enhanced phasers burn completely through the Klingon ships.

The one with an Excelsior class ship by its side

And sometimes the shot cuts early, and others the Excelsior peels off.

The Excelsior really got shafted. Introduced as the cutting edge of Starfleet design in Star Trek 3. Three years later, it’s a glorified shuttle for Admirals on TNG.

One of the best things about Generations was showing off the Enterprise B.

I rewatched TNG earlier this year and I don't know how many times I stopped to say "that's a beautiful ship" to myself, but it was a lot.

Granted not establishing shot. But into the sunset from Fistful of Datas is so exceptional and funny in story context.

have two favorite shots. The first is when the Enterprise pulls a hard reverse, executes a sudden 180 pivot, and rockets forward. The second is when she’s cruising at warp, abruptly drops into normal space to snap-change her heading, and instantly punches back into warp."

I was about to give up on an answer to this question, then read your post. I agree ha ha.

The very first shot from E@F of the Enterprise descending through the stars and then flying under the camera
