Howard Hughes sat here! At the controls of the Spruce Goose, 1940's flying boat that Hughes flew one time only for one mile....two months after I was born! Had a terrific one on one private tour with a docent who allowed me to scramble all over the flight deck. Hughes H-1 seaplane was stored many years in secrecy before being exhibited in Long Beach, then moved to Evergreen Museum in McMinnville Oregon and now restored. Eight P&W Wasp engines and wing inspection tunnels you can walk upright inside! This must have been a power plant nightmare with 8 engines each with 28 cylinders, valves, timing and synchronization.
