Two giants in the news this week and one is not Clinton’s head. Howard Hughes H-4 “Hercules” was transported from San Diego to Oregon It remains the largest aircraft ever built with a wingspan longer than a football field. That is more than a city block. Her next door neighbor while in San Diego was the former luxury liner, the Queen Mary, which, ironically brings us to the QE2 voyage to the states. Retired from active Cunard service in 2008, the summer of 2009 anticipated her sailing for South Africa to become a floating hotel as part of a Dubai World project.
Movie buffs will recognize the 1959 Vincent Price sci-fi movie title, “The Tingler.” One of the William Castle produced features with the obligatory fright warning before the movie began. Here though, it takes on a whole new meaning.
