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]

Gentlemen, just a reminder that this argument has been thriving amongst us "plane geeks" for decades. Even Mr. Hughes did not like the moniker and yet this was the first name I learned of the bird as a small child seeing it in Southern California. Please check out Talk:Hughes_H-4_Hercules for other discussions about this topic. It might be best to discuss it there instead of the museum site. Either way, "a rose by any other name is still a rose." In this case it's just a giant wooden one... Blue Skies --Trashbag 04:08, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(I know this is a little late but) also take a look at the museum's web address. Jason McHuff 05:13, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Collection

A discussion has been started with respect to including every aircraft in the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum on User_talk:RP459 and User_talk:Swbailey97128 I propose we move the discussion here to allow for more community involvement. RP459 (talk) 16:02, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My feeling on the subject are that inclusion of every aircraft in Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE RP459 (talk) 16:04, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My feeling is that the aircraft & spacecraft collection should be represented, but not smaller artifacts such as support equipment, uniforms, spacesuits, etc.; just the major pieces that the public would be likely to come and see. Thoughts and comments? Swbailey97128 (talk) 18:28, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
