Howard Hughes’ famous plane the H-4 Hercules (forever remembered as the “Spruce Goose”) made its first and only flight today in 1947 in Long Beach, California. It may have only flown a mile, but it certainly was an interesting craft – a 200-ton plywood plane with eight-engines, designed, built and flown by Hughes. They don’t make ‘em like they used to!

As I was finishing 53 miles of bike riding today around McMinnville, Oregon on the last full day of our Backroads trip, I noticed not far off my route a few large buildings with vintage aircraft out front and signage for the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum.
I’ve always been an airplane nut – my father, sister, and two uncles are pilots, and the Air and Space Museum that’s part of the Smithsonian in Washington DC was my favorite museum growing up – so I biked over and discovered an absolutely fabulous museum. I spent nearly three hours strolling among the more than 50 airplanes and spacecraft, ranging from a full-size replica of the first aircraft flown in 1903 by the Wright Brothers in Kitty Hawk, NC, to fighters from every war we’ve fought since World War I, to the highlight: the one and only “Spruce Goose,” built by Howard Hughes near the end of World War II and only flown once in 1947. With a wingspan of 321 feet, it was six times larger than any aircraft of its time and was the largest ever built until 2019 when it was surpassed by the Stratolaunch Roc.
Below are pictures from the museum and here’s a three-minute video I recorded about the Spruce Goose: youtube.com/watch?v=-LupkDuJ…

I learned about a remarkable Black woman today!
Bessie Coleman was the epitome of a badass. She knew what she wanted, what she stood for and did not bend to will of white supremacy.
Read about her. Share her story.
