The much but short declared trip of Hughes' HK-1 Hercules on November 2, 1947, was genuinely recreated in the Port of Long Coastline The activity control Spruce Goose and Hughes Garage minis constructed by New Bargain Studios are on display at the Evergreen Air Travel Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, with the initial Hughes H-1 Spruce Goose.
