Mr. Hughes said in front of Congress that if the government didn't stop pestering him, he would leave the US and never return. He eventually did just that.
Hughes was reported to have died on April 5, 1976, at 1:27 p.m. on board an aircraft owned by Robert Graf and piloted by Jeff Abrams. He was en route from his penthouse at the
Acapulco Fairmont Princess Hotel in Mexico to the Methodist Hospital in Houston. I remember that day, having heard the report on the radio as a News Flash in the afternoon.
