Quick question, does anyone know who owns the Hamilton Metalplane now?

Thanks in advance!

I believe it's Bruce McCaw who lives somewhere in the ultra expensive confines of either Mercer Island or Bellevue Washington,
Ron Pratt, another ubber rich guy owns the FORD trimotor sold a few years ago @ Barett-Jackson (along with lots and lots of very cool and rare vehicles that no one except him can see)

According to Vintage Airplane magazine, the current owner is Mr. Wright in Seattle. He brought it to Oshkosh this year. Apparently he is a seaplane enthusiast and has found the original floats that were mounted on the plane in the past so I am hoping to see pictures of it on floats soon. Maybe at the Oshkosh Seaplane base next year??

Then that would be Howard S. Wright the big big dude @ Howard S. Wright Construction Co. (pretty convenient huh?). They do a great deal of big building construction around the area and I think they were the prime on what used to be called SEAFIRST Tower @ 76 floors, in downtown Seattle.

Odd that in the Vintage Airplane article they only refer to him as "Mr. Wright"

With his money and horsepower around Western Washington, you'd call him Mr. Wright too and not 'Howie'.
