FAA has no indication that this ship was ever registered as NR258Y, may have been added by the Museum

FAA states: N258Y c/n 2 was registered to James & Betty Wright Llc, 33300 Molitor Ranch Rd, Cottage Grove, Oregon.
Jim Wright of Cottage Grove, Oregon built a full-scale replica of the H-1 that he first flew in 2002. His replica was so close to the original that the FAA granted it serial number 2 of the model. His achievement in recreating the aircraft was heralded in virtually every well-known aviation magazine of the time.[12]
On August 4, 2003, Wright unveiled his replica aircraft at the 2003 AirVenture at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. On his way home to Oregon, he refueled the aircraft in Gillette, Wyoming. Wright met briefly with local reporters and said that the aircraft had been having propeller "gear problems." An hour after taking off, the aircraft crashed just north of the Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park, killing Wright.
NTSB Identification: DEN03FA138
