Reading about the 314 has suddenly triggered a memory for me about the Hughes H-4 Hercules (another huge flying boat from the same era, though never made it to production). That was another massive aircraft/flying boat.
From there, I recall a movie where Yogi Bear and his mates stole the Hercules (read: Spruce Goose) for some reason. And then I went all nostalgic.
- larkeith 9y agoIf you ever happen to visit Portland, Oregon, I strongly recommend heading down to the Evergreen Aviation Museum - seeing the Spruce Goose in person is just breathtaking.
- King-Aaron 9y agoI'll definitely add it to the bucket list!
- gumby 9y agoI second this (though it’s in McMinnville, about an hour south of Portland). Quite a collection of aircraft and spacecraft. Next door you kids can go in a pool with a water slide that starts in a 747 on top of a building! Plus your taxes paid for it (via a CIA front company)!
