Spruce Goose Narrated Tour in 4k | H-4 Hercules

This is a narrated tour in and around the H-4 Hercules (Spruce Goose)...Howard Hughes's flying boat. It is the largest amphibian aircraft, and the largest wooden aircraft ever built. And for 72 years up until 2019, it had the largest wingspan of any aircraft. It truly is a marvel of engineering and a beast of a machine. The first and very last time it ever flew was on November 2nd, 1947 when Howard Hughes shocked the world by unveiling the gargantuan airship that the press had scoffed by saying it could never fly...they even nicknamed it "The Spruce Goose", despite the fact that it was made of Birch wood. Be sure to visit the H-4 Hercules at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, in McMinnville, Oregon, USA. They are wonderful people and the docents are very knowledgeable about the aircraft and spacecraft/machinery.

Check out my mini-documentary about the history of the H-4 Hercules!

DISCLAIMER: I am not a University-educated historian, Alex the Historian was a nickname I got while working at Disneyland as a tour guide. After 6 years of using it as a stage name for my channel, it would be detrimental to the channel to suddenly change the name.
