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! 👉🏻 https://www.patreon.com/mentourpilot Our Connections: 👉🏻 Exclusive Mentour Merch: https://mentour-crew.creator-spring.com/? 👉🏻 Our other channel: youtube.com/mentournow 👉🏻 Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mentourpilot 👉🏻 BOSE Aviation: https://boseaviation-emea.aero/headsets Social: 👉🏻 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MentourPilot 👉🏻 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mentour_pilot 👉🏻 Twitter: https://twitter.com/MenTourPilot 👉🏻 Discord server: https://discord.gg/JntGWdn 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.
