For my last day in the Pacific Northwest, we went to McMinville to see the Spruce Goose.
Here is some pie for your pie run Saturday.
See the tail section in the background? BIG
I had to stitch the tail picture.
Look at the pontoon compared to the fuselage.
Three stitches and I didn't get the whole wing. Each engine is 3000hp and there are 8 of them. When Hughes flew it, he had a man standing behind each engine monitoring it. There was plenty of clearance...11 feet.
Inside the Goose
Huges collected tons of beach balls for the test flight and stuff them in the wing tips and pontoons.
Tip of wing to tip of wing takes this whole hangar!
Pan of the Spruce Goose
Some fun stuff...
There was a separate building running great flight IMAX shows and a third building with space stuff. We heard they are on the short list to receive one of the decommissioned space shuttles soon.
As a kid, I was always fascinated with the F-15. Here it is...
I have to get packed and ready to head toward Montana tomorrow. I may stop in Walla Walla, or go further.
I will be using the SPOT again for the duration of the trip to Colorado.
