I grew up about twenty miles from where it was stored all those years,
knowing it as the Hughes Hercules, not the "Spruce Goose". Right up to the
day he died, I half-expected Howie to wake up with a wild hair up his ass
some morning and take it out for a flight. I finally got to see it in 1986
when it was on display next to the Queen Mary in Long Beach.
