Click below and wait briefly to hear James McNamara describing a second run:
Have you ever dreamed of what it would be like to have been a passenger on the Spruce Goose as it lifted off the choppy water on Long Beach Harbor in 1947? Well, dream no more. Now you can join Howard Hughes while he flies the largest aircraft ever built. Ride on the jump seat while James McNamara interviews Mr. Hughes as he pilots the huge ship into the history books. Did he intend to fly the HK-4 Hercules that day? Now you can listen and decide for yourself.
In addition, follow Mr. Hughes and his crew of four as they fly a Lockheed 14 "Super Electra" around the world on their record breaking 1938 flight. You will begin in New York on July 10, 1938, and arrive back in Brooklyn, New York three days 19 hours and 14 minutes later. For successfully breaking Wiley Post's previous record, Mr. Hughes was given a ticker tape parade through the streets of downtown Manhattan.
