Bummer. These carrier museum projects are almost always economic losers. I don't know about Intrepid, but Midway is the only other one I know is keeping its head above water.
I did my A-4 carrier qual on the Saratoga. I didn't do very well. You had to get a 2.4 grade to qualify. I got exactly a 2.4. I sucked.
Eventually I got better.

...pretty sure the Intrepid gets over 600,000 visitors a year...but it has gone under numerous upgrades...air and space and the like.I think this is the first year their opening more to the public too.
