Why is the H-4 Hercules still called "The Spruce Goose" when it is the "H-4 Hercules" and out of respect for Howard Hughes, since he hated the plane being called "The Spruce Goose"?? Even the aircraft community calls it "The Spruce Goose", but to me that is sooo disrespectfull to the Man, to the Aviator, Howard Hughes.
