Well the Spruce Goose has done only one flight.
They could try another one.
As for length of waterway - what is it across the pacific - 6,000 miles,
that ought to be long enough to get airborne, on a calm day of course.
  And "blaming everyone' after a disaster.
Well, some is justified of course.
I do like this one - someone, perhaps Nancy Pelosi...i was driving listening
to the radio when I heard this .......
Might be who it was.....................andy, they  pointed out that
national guard troops weren't very available or equipped to help with fire
disaster because they are in Iraq !
