Sauce for the Goose

Mike and Jerry wind up hauling some high-powered fuel for an airplane called the Flying Goose. [Airplanes named ""Goose"": Eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes once had his Hughes Aircraft Company make the ""Spruce Goose""-- the largest wood-constructed and the largest wingspan airplane ever built. Originally designed in 1942, it was powered by 8 Pratt & Whitney 3,000 horsepower engines. Howard Hughes piloted the Spruce Goose on its only flight: Nov. 2, 1947, in Long Beach Harbor, Los Angeles.]
