Building The Largest Ever Flying Boat | Power: Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose | Spark

Faster and bigger. In this episode, we soar from the experimental Bell X-1 that first proved the possibility of supersonic flight, to the modern jets like the F22 Raptor. We also examine some of the largest crafts to ever fly, including Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose that was the inspiration behind Hughes biopic The Aviator, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Hey Spark! How about getting rid of the jerk who invents the titles of your videos.

[themittonmethod]

Given the title, I was expecting something ALL ABOUT the Spruce Goose.... sadly, this was not.. and for that, a thumbs down from me.

[morganmeagan]

The small section on the Spruce Goose starts at 25:30 and ends 27:30. I really expected a documentary on the Spruce Goose based on the title but it only has a 2 minute segment. I enjoyed this program nonetheless but the title is misleading for sure.

I got to witness Chuck Yeager's last official AF flight that day at Edwards AFB. We were still working our way through the parking lot when Gen. Yeager zapped us with that beautiful boom. That same day we also got to see a B1b do a barrel roll, and the N9M Flying Wing on it's 1st public flight after restoration (RIP). A truly amazing day I hope to never forget.

Nice clickbait title. What does this have to do with flying boats

[msb]

This is video is not about Spruce Goose, it's more about aircraft evolution and progress...Please change the title Spark!

[mrpont]

The plane shown at 37:39 until 38:01 is a F/A 18 Hornet, NOT a MIG 29 Fulcrum.

horse feathers, watermelons, spark plugs, diapers, pencils, pickles and dirty underrwear, but were is the goose

[abhimanyugupta]

I had to wait for 26 minutes before I arrived at the said topic. Why not simply make a short video if you don't have a full length documentary about it

[shaun]

Hey Spark, Chuck named his Bell X1 "Glamorous Glennis", not glorious.

[TimeisReel]

*Agreed the Title is Bad and Misleading. But if you are a Fan of Aircraft, this is... Excellent "

[myassizitchy]

26:00 mins in and finally they talk about Hughes and the spruce goose for a whole min and a half 🤦🏻‍♂️

[tweezerjam]

Its 13:00 and I’m wondering when they get to the spruce goose. Wtf

[briankistner]

Title is VERY 25:30 in is the first talk of the Spruce Goose. And only 2 minutes of coverage!!! Spark showed be ashamed of themselves for such misleading clickbait.

[plty]

damn bro, you got the whole squad flyin

[Fabrikoooo]

Technical knowledge to maintain the old and unreal stablish institutions

[shook]

He said barrier arrested recoveries at 2:15 when talking about the f-35c?! And the f-35b is not the first supersonic vtol jet the yak-141! Two glaring mistakes barely two minutes in

[kolaiktomi]

Sorry, but I reported you for clickbait. Several of my family members worked on the Spruce Goose, so, don't use clickbait titles. This is a cool documentary and everything, but I'm sure you've just reposted for views and subs. Hate to call out people, but you kind of just left that turd on the floor.

Love the show but the Blackbird did get hit by a Russian missile it started help with United States and Russia look it up second question when the jet engine fires up why does you see little Rings coming out with the porch in the middle what makes it do that

[thomasgandee]

The black bird was shot down by a Sam so why did he say over 4000 misiles an all misses get your info lot better but good show
