Spruce Goose, Evergreen Aviation Museum History
The Spruce Goose, Howard Hughes' famous wooden airplane, was moved from Long Beach, California, to the Willamette Valley in Oregon in the 1990s. Disney, which previously owned the property where the plane was housed, sold it to the Evergreen Aviation Museum, where it was reassembled and remains on display.
Treasure Island History and Seaplane Terminal Origins
A discussion details the history of Treasure Island in San Francisco, noting its origins as an artificial island built for the 1930s World's Fair. The main terminal building was originally designed as a seaport for trans-Pacific seaplanes before the Navy confiscated the site during World War II. The area includes Yerba Buena Island, formerly known as Goat Island, and has served as a filming location for Indiana Jones films.
