Original Hughes Aircraft location. Although any number of publications cite this location as being in Culver City, it truely has always been part of Westchester, CA. Howard Hughes' "Spuce Goose" was built at the plant here. Most of the Hughes plant and airfield has been redeveloped into the master planned neighborhood now known as Playa Vista, CA.
