> I don't know, Terry. IIRC the Spruce Goose never flew. From http://www.sprucegoose.org/spruceGoose.t?request=A%20Brief%20History On November 2, 1947, Howard Hughes and a small engineering crew fired up the R-4360s for taxi tests and thrilled thousands of on-lookers with an unannounced flight. With Howard Hughes at the controls, the Flying Boat lifted 70 feet off the water, and flew one mile in less than a minute at a top speed of 80 miles per hour before making a perfect landing. In 1992-3, it was barged up to it's current home at an Aero-museum about 35 miles SW of Portland, OR. See http://www.sprucegoose.org There's another, larger, Aero-museum an hour or so further west in Tillimook, OR, on the wonderful Oregon Coast.
