In the movie, what aircraft is Hughes flying with Katharine Hepburn?  It's also the one he picks her up in when she's on the beach doing a movie.

You don't have the Spruce Goose, do you?

Thanks, Thunderbird.  I eventually found it by going through a painstaking process of search and re-search.  I'm running FS9, though, so the one you posted wouldn't work for me anyway.  Appreciated, though.

As for the Goose (actually the "Hercules"), try this.  FS9, but should work for FSX as well.
