I recenly saw the movie The aviator,I didn't knew about this real history matter,Question: Did that Hercules has to do something with the actualy hercules c130?,Question,did it fly well?,Question where is it right now?,what else did this Howard Hughes we own today,besides the TWA? and did he really had a mental issue,..
The Hughes Hercules is better known as the Spruce Goose. It has nothing to do with the Lockeed C-130. AFAIK It's now on display at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon. http://www.sprucegoose.org/aircraft_artifacts/exhibits.html
Yes, Howard Hughes suffered from various mental conditions during his later life. He became a virual recluse & died more like a tramp (hobo) than a multi-millionaire. http://www.socalhistory.org/Biographies/h_hughes.htm
