Ooops

If I mentioned the Spruce Goose in the post on McMinnville, the least I could do is actually show a picture of it. I think it's interesting that this shot shows a reproduction of the world's first wooden airplane (the Wright Flyer partially visible to the left), plus a WWI Spad fighter plane, next to the ultimate in wooden prop-driven airplanes. The Goose here is the real one, built and (briefly) flown by Howard Hughes, not a reproduction.

How about that! Two blog posts in ONE day!

  1. We paid the extra $75 per person to go into the pilot's cabin and sit where Howard sat. It was awesome!
