Antifa hasn’t burned the Spruce Goose yet?

In the early 80s, I was on the crew to move the Spruce Goose thru LA to Long Beach. It was all nighttime point to point movement. My team was responsible for the temp lighting needed at all unlit areas and the turns. Hell or high water we had to have every section of the Spruce in it’s daytime rest point by 5am. It wasn’t easy, involved significant co-ordination across several teams. I think Sargent and Lundy ran the show.

I’d gone abroad the Queen Mary on one of my business trips for dinner in the Windsor room. Very impressive dinner and tab, toured the ship, had drinks at one of the ship’s bars, then speaking to the bartender about being an engineer in the Nuke Navy, he arranged for us to get into the engine room which was still very well preserved. Massive dehumidifiers and fans throughout.
