Alright, here's the deal.
- The request to extend the deadline was delayed. That really sucks.
- 2 people have given them 6-figure donations contingent on them finding a place to go
- They're meeting with the Navy to discuss moving the ship to one of their locations. I'd say there's a better chance that the Flyers win the Cup this year than that happening.
- They are still scouting a variety of locations on the East Coast. I have been hearing a lot about Virginia
- Should this fail, they will reef the ship in Florida as opposed to scrapping
I did recently get the chance to tour the vessel, which I am very glad I did. If I didn't do it then, I'd spend the rest of my life regretting it. Anyway, when we were leaving I asked the tour guide if they had found a place to go. He just smiled at me and said "you'll know soon enough." This was 3 weeks ago. Either A) he was getting ahead of himself 2) he was straight up bullshitting (which I find unlikely) C)There is a deal in the works that isn't public D) The Conservancy has a 200 IQ move up their sleeve. Any are entirely possible.
