The Aero Club of Southern California acquired the aircraft, he said, and put the Spruce Goose on display in a hangar. In 1992, the Spruce Goose was sold to Delford Smith, the founder of Evergreen Interna- tional Aviation. The plane was transported to McMinnville in pieces by truck and barge, re- assembled and restored by a team of experts. Smith founded the muse- um in 2001, with the Spruce Goose as its centerpiece housed in a giant glass and steel building.
