This plane now lives at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, OR. I used to live about 20 miles away from there, and went to the museum several times. The Spruce Goose (originally a derogatory name that Hughes hated, btw) is fully re-assembled inside this gigantic building that was built just for the purpose. Underneath her massive wings, many other vintage aircraft are displayed, including an SR-71 Blackbird (fastest jet ever built), a Ford Trimotor (first airliner), a 3/4 scale model of the Wright Flyer, and many others. The Goose is so huge that she looks like a mother bird gathering all these other air marvels beneath her. In a room off to the side, they show a movie documentary about the Goose, her history, and the massive move/rebuild project. It's quite a display!
