Not sure if I have been to this #AirMuseum but it looks cool. I have been to the #EvergreenAviation&SpaceMuseum though and saw the #SpruceGoose and it is amazing!

Howard Hughes vuela el Spruce Goose, el hidroavión más grande del mundo (97m )

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1947, the only flight of the #SpruceGoose, aka the #H4Hercules, took place in #LongBeach, CA. Its designer & builder, #HowardHughes, was at the controls. Still one of the largest fixed-wing aircraft ever, she is currently displayed in McMinnville, Oregon.

Burnished historic creatures of the sky, ensconced securely indoors at the #EvergreenAviatonMuseum at #McMinnville, OR. The star is the ginormous #SpruceGoose, and a relatively compact, gleaming #DC3 nestles under one of the Goose's broad wings.

Why did the Spruce Goose only fly once? Why did the Spruce Goose only fly once? The Spruce Goose only flew once because the need for it had passed, it was too heavy, and Howard Hughes lost interest.

Sunk Cost Fallacy = Starship
The sunk cost fallacy is a cognitive bias that makes you keep investing in something (time, money, effort) even when it's clear that it's not worth it anymore, just because you've already invested so much in it. #starship #musk #sprucegoose

So, 2 years to retrofit (security, countermeasures, etc.), then maybe a year in service before his term is up, then how long to pull all the USAF add-ons back out to make it a private plane again?

Hughes H4 in Emirates livery floating in front of Burj Khalifa and other famous Dubai skyline buildings

Sir Tim Clark was quoted today: ‚If Airbus is not building us A380neos, we have to do something‘
So they did something, and Emirates ordered 120 Hughes H4s and painted the only existing model in the livery here taxiing in front of Dubai. Birch stocks skyrocketed

Look my knowledge of the Spruce Goose is mostly related to my knowledge of the Spruce Moose. Can’t blame me on this one.

Since “Show an unusual photo of you and an aircraft” is going around, I’ll change it to “show an interesting photo you took from the cockpit”

Me sitting left seat in the Spruce Goose.

Any other weird cockpit photos out there?
