Rumor is Erickson at Tillamook.

Who is moving his whole operation, including museum, inland to Madras.

Pretty much confirmed by the Tillamook Air Museum facebook page that the N3701G is now owned by the museum and/or Erickson. Scheduled to fly west this coming weekend (June 29-30) with delivery, presumably, to Tillamook, Oregon.

Yep,

Ray Fowler and Brent Conner are doing the ferry flight. Departing the east coast this Saturday. Erickson did indeed buy Chuckie. For the time being Chuckie will reside at the Tillamook Air Museum until the collection is moved to Madras.

I understand the airplane made it to Hillsboro,Oregon, by Sunday afternoon, It was planned to make a flyby at Madras, Oregon. Not sure if that occurred, but the airplane is indeed on the west coast now.
