California acquired the aircraft,
he said, and put the Spruce

In 1992, the Spruce Goose
was sold to Delford Smith, the
founder of Evergreen Interna-

transported to McMinnville in
pieces by truck and barge, re-
assembled and restored by a
team of experts.
Smith founded the muse-

Goose as its centerpiece
housed in a giant glass and
