When I was on a consulting contract at Hughes Helicopters in Culver City, CA I along with several other engineers was taken to a small warehouse. When the lights were turned on the first thing we saw was a full-scale mock-up of the Hughes 369 made totally out of Mahogany. Next our eyes were drawn to a large form covered by a canvas tarp. When the tarp was pulled away the original Hughes Racer was exposed. It was like being witness to aviation history.
