SPRUCE GOOSE
AUGUST 6, 2009, I VISITED THE EVERGREEN MUSEUM IN McMINNVILLE, OREGON TO SEE THE SPRUCE
GOOSE. THIS MONSTER HAS A WING SPAN OF 318 FEET WITH EIGHT (R4360-4A PRATT AND WHITNEY
ENGINES) THE LARGEST ENGINES MADE AT THE TIME. THE MUSEUM CONTAINS A HUGE COLLECTION
OF WWII AIRCRAFT AND VINTAGE PLANES AND HELLICOPTERS. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MIRACLE
THEN YOU SHOULD PUT IT HIGH ON YOUR LIST OF PLACES TO VISIT. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED
This baby weighs in at 125 tons or 250,000 pounds

I AM SORRY FOR THE QUALITY OF THESE PICTURES. BEFORE I REDUCED THEM
THEY WERE SHARP BUT WHEN I MADE THEM SMALLER THEY GOT A LITTLE FUZZY.
