I heard it was boxed up and shipped to Oregon. Is that were it is now?

I saw the Queen Mary in Long Beach many years before the Spruce Goose was there and I never had the chance to see it after it was put under he dome

The short flight video was impressive when I 1st saw it, but not a surprise knowing who the pilot was

Damnit, they need to box it up and ship it on over to California so I could see it!

That is certainly something I would like to see one day.

Hello Camaero,

Don't you mean to say "they need to box it up and ship it back to California so I could see it!" as it was in Long Beach near the Queen Mary for many years

I too lived in California, but never had the chance to see it. I had seen the Queen Mary with the "Y" as a kid a few years before the Spruce Goose was there.
