And yet the owner refuses to buy 747-400, but will fly the hell out of -200"s and make a water slide out of the other.

The Spruce Goose is in that area. I saw it as I drove down the road on one of my truckin' trips in Summer 2004...

I believe it's in that museum. I went there in 07 and they said they were expanding, didn't know it would be like that.

Thanks for the great pics!

Looks like things have changed since I was last there.

My avatar is a pic of my son looking down into the cockpit of the SR-71, parked under the right wing of the Spruce Goose. You cannot appreciate the scale of the thing 'till you see it, so go see it!

I am gonna have to go back and check out that water slide, looks cool.

cheers,
Joe

Don't argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
