Interesting. Any idea where the name Spruce Goose came from! (I had
better remember that fact for the next time I play trivial pursuit!)

Go see the movie 'The Aviator' for the answer. :-) It's worth seeing.
Something to do with that government git played by Alan Alda who
dubbed it the "Spruce Goose" and the name stuck. Howard Hughes might
have not been a hero to most but he was a hero to me.
