@elonmusk Have you sat in Howard Hughes pilot seat of the “Spruce Goose” ?
@EvergreenMuseum I was unaware of the move. Thank you.
2 November 1947- American aviator and filmmaker Howard Hughes piloted the Spruce Goose, an eight-engine wooden flying boat intended to carry 750 passengers, on its only flight—one mile. britannica.com/on-this-day/No…
Went to the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum for Honey’s birthday. Personally not into planes, but they had a wonderful selection of helicopters which I love. Here’s the Spruce Goose whose spectacular bigness is hard to show.
This morning's "on this day" reported that in 1947 Howard Hughes' "spruce goose" made its first and only flight. Yes it was the largest wooden airplane ever made. And, yes again, wood is not the best material for aircraft. @cspanwj
@olasempruch Dodam, że "pilotował" to może nieco na wyrost, bo Spruce Goose wykonał tylko "skok" długości ok. 2,5 km nie wznosząc się ponad 20 metrów, żeby wykazać, że w ogóle jest w stanie wystartować. Na pełny oblot brakło kasy od państwowego sponsora - wojna się skończyła i konstrukcja nie…
The world's largest wooden plane, the 200-ton Spruce Goose, was flown by billionaire Howard Hughes over Long Beach harbor on November 2, 1947. At that time, it was the world's largest airplane ever flown. It only flew that one time. #History
