I was told it was Howard Hughes, but I can't find info on it.

Moose it's being re-restored.  I think they are going to make it look like that immaculate Me 109G-10.   :)

HH built a racing plane that was like a zero in the 1930s.  

He also had sex with Lana Turner, Rita Hayworth, Katharine Hepburn, Jean Harlow, Marilyn Monroe, and Gloria Vanderbilt.

But he had to wait for Kurt to finish first.
