Spruce Goose flew its first and only flight in 1947. Howard Hughes designed and flew the 25 million dollar plane made of wood. Originally called Hercules, the plane flew for about one mile at an altitude of 70 feet over Long Beach Harbor, California. Today the Spruce Goose is an exhibit at the Evergreen Museum.
