Well, if they do buy it and try to operate it on their own, the comedy sure to ensue might be priceless............
the USS Forrestal just sold for a penny... they could have saved some serious cash
The clowns could sell tickets.
The only thing that would be even funnier would be for Nigeria to buy a carrier to protect their oil wealth. They bought a bunch of RV-7s for training airplanes and couldn’t even keep them running as I recall. Nigeria specializes in junk. In Nigeria they have a knack for building brand new stuff, buildings and houses that look ancient and dilapidated when they are finished.
The words "amateur" and "aircraft carrier landing" usually don't go together, unless they're attached to "flaming disaster". But it'd be a great reality TV show.
