Title: My grandfather worked for Hughes aircraft
Post by: ABDCWOT on July 12, 2012, 08:43:41 PM

My grandfather worked 30+ years for Hughes aircraft. He worked on the "Spruce Goose." He did all of the windows you see. He also worked on the Hughes gliders. He called them, "death traps." Anyways, i thought you guys might like a little of that trivia.

Here's a pic of him and my grandmother in the early 40's.

That is pretty cool.


By the way, is this the same abdc that helped me in the MA when I was just a 2-weeker back in 2007?
