But the only reason it ever got to fly is because that passion became an obsession. Today, we'll look at how Howard Hughes developed and maintained the H-4 Hercules over a period of decades, the history of seaplanes and flying boats, and why the Spruce Goose will be forever be remembered as a truly classic aircraft. ---------------------------------------------------- If you want to support the work I do on the channel, join my Patreon crew and get awesome perks and help me move the channel forward! 👉🏻   / mentourpilot   Our Connections: 👉🏻 Exclusive Mentour Merch: https://mentour-crew.creator-spring.c... 👉🏻 Our other channel:    / mentournow   👉🏻 Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mentourpilot 👉🏻 BOSE Aviation: https://boseaviation-emea.aero/headsets Social: 👉🏻 Facebook:   / mentourpilot   👉🏻 Instagram:   / mentour_pilot   👉🏻 Twitter:   / mentourpilot   👉🏻 Discord server:   / discord   Download the FREE Mentour Aviation app for all the latest aviation content 👉🏻 https://www.mentourpilot.com/apps/ Below you will find the links to videos and sources used in this episode.
