the "Spruce Goose" moniker

I feel that references (directly) to the name Spruce Goose should be replaced with Hercules.
The moniker was derogatory reference, and IMO should not be perpetuated.

I disagree that the name should be replaced. "Spruce Goose" is the name that has stuck, and that people who are not knowledgable about aviation history recognize. I think an explanation of the origin of the term is worthwhile; but I believe it should be included along with the official name. Is my recent edit acceptable to you? -Pete 01:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
