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'. |
