Are you sure? Is it bigger than the C-5 or the Russian cargo jets?

By the way, Evergreen Air used to be the CIA airline, mostly during Viet Nam...

Was there recently, forgive the cameraphone panorama. At least it gives you some sense of the space inside? Enjoy!

Yes, that is a Titan II rocket nestled up next to it and a Blackbird (and drone) sheltered under one wing. The Evergreen Aviation Museum houses an incredible number of aircraft and no matter where you are inside, it's nearly impossible to get the full Spruce Goose into frame... Truly amazing and well worth the stop if you're ever in the area?
