	UPDATE: (March 31st. 2007) A sad day to report. Do to the lack of funding for more then 7 years Ship 23 ended up being scrapped. Not to worry, 43 feet of the fuselage was spared. Scroggins Aviation is currently discussing with The Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington to display the large section. The museum has expressed strong interest in having Ship 23 added to the collection for their new hangar facility opening in 2012. Please check back as more information will come available.
