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).
