- Comment: Thanks to Vaticidalprophet for suggesting ideas for some of the hooks.
5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 14:36, 15 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
The article was expanded fivefolds, long enough, referenced, neutral and no copyvio obvious. The hooks are sourced and interesting. The image here is free and clear, and no issue with images in the article as well. QPQ done. AGF offline sources. Corachow (talk) 18:12, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
Pulled from Q5 due to close paraphrasing concerns. Please see the nomination's talk page. Schwede66 08:03, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
My apologies; it wasn't close paraphrasing after all. Please see the talk page. I recommend that this be promoted as the lead hook. And to the admin who eventually promotes this to queue, please note that I've checked this as far as the Earwig step. Schwede66 09:14, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
