I got to see the Spruce Goose when it was down in Long Beach.
It is definitely a machine with a presence.
When you went into the dome, it was almost church like quiet inside.
When you got to go into the pane and see all the wood, (I recall them looking like 2 x 4’s, but I am probably wrong), it gave you the impression of an airplane built out of matchsticks, by the Jolly Green Giant.

There was a number of Hughes airplanes on display, the one that was built with flush rivets was memorable, but was literally overshadowed by the Goose.
