"You might enjoy The Aviator (Howard Hughes in his prime years' story)a good film about all American guts and ingenuity. Just read of a Australian "Hercules" (Hughes designed aircraft) delivering much need supplies to tidal wave disaster site. It's rated PG-13."

I think you're confusing the Lockheed C-130 'Hercules' used by the Australians and the Hughes-designed "Hercules' transport built during WWII, also known as the "Spruce Goose".

Thanks for the information...for some reason I thought the Hercules (Aussies used) might be of a later generation of the Hughes'"Hercules" transport aka "Spruce Goose".
