Howard Hughes's "Spruce Goose" is so big, a special huge museum had to be built to shelter it. Large, modern jets are parked outside to entice travelers.

This is an incredible museum, and well worth the cost of admission. It really is two giant museums -- one about flight, the other about spaceflight -- and both are included with your admission. There is also a random granite Boy Scout arch out back behind the museums. No idea what it's about, but it's huge.

Beautiful facility, and yep, The Spruce Goose, but at $54.00 admission for the two of us, we took pictures from the lobby and headed on to the next adventure.
