Actually, the Spruce Goose is offically called the "H-4 Hercules".
There is also a a more modern "C-130 Hercules.

However, there is only one 'Spruce Goose"

No but have you tried the one for FS9 in FSX yet. Some FS9 airplanes work OK in FSX.

"Spruce Goose" was the name the media gave it due to it's all wood construction. That name didn't make Mr. Hughes very happy. Another piece of trivia: My father installed some of the avionics on the H-4 Hercules.
