I recall a guy named Mongo who hit the Wreck many years ago. IIRC, he and his brother were eccentric, supposedly very wealthy, and were wanting to build a wooden airplance much like Howard Hughes. Does anyone remember him and has anyone heard whether or not he did it? (or was he using David Eisen's Makita to make spam sausage?) LOL!

"Cosmo Lengro". His brother was Mongo. One had the impression that his other brothers were Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo.
All I know is what I find with Google. Search google groups finds a lot of messages ending in 1999. Doubt the Spruce Goose 2 ever flew.
Spruce Goose 1 barely flew.
Whenever anyone mentions the Spruce Goose, the discussion often ends up with the Mosquito RAF bomber. AKA as 'The Timber Terror' or 'The Wooden Wonder'. One of my all-time favourite aircraft and one of the reasons wood is my blood. (Those and the Morgan cars.) What you can't do with timber, ply, and canvas.

I'm not and I agree. In "True North" the dog was named Diefenbaker. Terrible name for a dog.
But the Arrow was from Avro, not the DeHavilland. Not that it matters, they're all gone now.
Ah, I believe you mean "Due South"
You're right. At least I remembered that there was a direction in the title.
I loved that show, but wasn't it called "Due South"?
At least I didn't confuse it with "Northern Exposure".
Entirely wrong kind of dog for that name.
