Fly Me to the Hughes: Turbulence in Fortune

The enigmatic billionaire, aviator, film director, inventor, and businessman Howard Hughes is at the peak of his influence. His eccentricities, much like his innovative vision and controversial decision-making, have placed him in the spotlight. He easily becomes the talk of the town, between his disappearances, his medical issues, and his insanely outlandish lifestyle. To nobody’s surprise, he has become a constant staple and person of interest in American and international media. 

Meanwhile, in the 1950s, the aviation industry is booming. Competition between airlines is fierce and Hughes has a significant stake in TWA. His vision and investments have propelled the airline to become one of the leading airlines in the world. However, the industry is facing numerous challenges, including but not limited to safety concerns, financial instability, and Cold War tensions. 

As close advisors and friends of Howard Hughes, this committee must navigate the complexities of managing his multifaceted empire while dealing with his unpredictable behaviour. Delegates will also tackle external pressures from the government, the media, his competitors, and his personal life, all while dealing with the present-day aviation industry. Remember, many corporate executives from rival airlines and members from aviation regulatory bodies are trying to seize control of Hughes’ various business ventures. 

Delegates, get ready to immerse yourselves in one of the most enigmatic people in American history, whose extraordinary wealth, innovative genius, and eccentric behaviour captivated and perplexed the world. Everything is up in the air (literally), and it is up to delegates to make sure it doesn’t all come crashing down.
