i think he was a visionary and great man indeed, with better treatment who knows what he would´ve accomplished ontop of what he already did

I can't see what is particularly great about him.

An extremely wealthy man who had a head for business and spent a fortune indulging his hobbies - pretty much like Richard Branson does today.

Had it not been for his loopy behaviour in later life, he would be regarded as just another rich playboy from that era (who all seemed obssessed with aviation, presumably due to its infancy) and mostly forgotten.

He's buried like a hundred meters behind my apartment. There's a nice club (I usually hate clubs) next to the cemetary there, and whenever I've been there, no one ever seems to know why the club is named Hughes' Hangar, despite pictures of Hughes and airplanes and stuff being on the walls everywhere.

Thanks for letting us know.
Now be a good boy and go dig him up.

Too much work for a skeleton with long fingernails.
