The Spruce Goose flew in 1947 in Long Beach Harbor. 

Hagar, weren't you a youngster in Denmark in 1947?

Michael Alexander and ALL :                 Absolutely correct   ---here is the no bullshit
version.

Some years ago I was heading North from SanDiego along the FANTASTIC   pacific highway
101  (on my 650 Ymaha twin)     ---I could not pass by the Spruce Goose in LA ?  could I ?
NEVER have no fear --- without putting my sticky fingerprints all over it.   I was not
disappointed ----it was worth every dollar and ----I felt like I was back in 1947.

In the middle of the fuselage is a platform ----one can see all the way to the tail
inside---nothing covered the keel sectors in the back.    Some sort of Guy in a fancy uniform
with lots of salad on his chest was giving lectures and keeping order.(NO stealing of souvenirs)

I said Sir  --am I in the Goose? --he said yes.  ---then I jumped up in the air as high as
I could ---and I said Sir was I airborne in the Goose ? ----I made him sign the program to
that effect.

So now you know --that I have come a long way since I flunked English in Denmark.

And  Bob in entire state  --thank you for invitation. --BUT St Peter shakes his head --- BUT

I sure would have liked to see N.Y. again ---and the APPLE.   

And Alexander yes I was in Denmark  1945 --1946 and 1947.  ----and it was a playground like
nothing ever seen since.----NO Gestapo  NO danish police --NO danish military or
if you like  --Hagar  had a ball   -- before order was restored. I did get arrested a couple of times in 1946.

For stealing (looting) the Kastrup airbase and  a   German fire hall . All the aircraft were left fully
intact   ---go figure. ?   Gassed and loaded mith munition. Base was part of the Himmelbelt
and the Kammhuber line. ---Lots of fancy Radars.--- They did not have Radar  in 1940 you
say ?  ---wake up.   --- 

Injection pumps by BOSCH ?  sure they were all over the place.   And the Jumo diesel  had
two pistons per cylinder .---The american Roosa Master injectin pumps  (GM V8)   likewise
has two pistons in the cylinder not one like the BOSCH VE pump.   --I will take the
BOSH any time.


Hagar.

PS : and the Goose was made of Birch .(mostly).
