Contest winners to ride aboard Intrepid's return

intrepid2006sol.JPG


The Intrepid Air & Space Museum is holding a contest to let a few lucky winners ride aboard the aircraft carrier when it makes its September 26 return to Manhattan's Pier 86.

The ship, which has been undergoing repairs since December 2006, will reopen to the public on Veterans' Day, November 11, 2008.

One assumes this trip from the Staten Island repair yard will be less dramatic than the Intrepid's departure, which was originally scuttled because the massive ship was stuck in the mud.

Contestants must enter by February 28 for a chance to win a free ride onboard the Intrepid. Ten winners will get to ride (and each winner gets to bring a guest.)
