One wonders if Paul Allen has long, curly, uncut fingernails, and obsession for banana ice cream, and the desire to watch “Ice Station Zebra” at least 150 times?

For those not getting the references, it is Howard Hughes...inventor/builder of the Spruce Goose, and enormous plane from just post-WW2.

Ha, I did get the Howard Hughe's reference.

I saw the Spruce Goose at the Evergreen Air and Space museum in McMinnville, OR awhile back.

He's quite a fan of aviation. At Paine Field in Everett WA (also a Boeing factory site), Allen has a WW2 war birds collection.

His intent was to show how flight technology changed during WW2. There are fully restored and flight capable aircraft from all the major countries involved in WW2.

He is now including armored vehicles as well, from all the combatants.
