Our 2007 WACO YMF-5C is a modern recreation of what is considered by many to be finest of all Golden Age biplanes. Modern materials and technology are used in the mostly hand-built manufacturing process to create a new and improved version with the classical lines and art deco beauty of the original 1935 model. The build process takes more than 5000 man hours. The prop was painstakingly created from 8 layers of carefully selected lightweight aircraft strength spruce. Power is provided by a high performance 275 HP Jacobs 7-cylinder air-cooled radial engine. Cruise speed is 110 MPH, but the WACO can go as slow as 59 MPH allowing you to comfortably take in the sights.
The WACO is fully licensed and Certified to carry passengers by the FAA. Most biplanes can carry only one passenger, however the WACO is Certified to carry two passengers in the front cockpit. You and a friend can have the ride of a lifetime.
Experience something few people ever see, experience flying the way it was meant to be, an adventure you will cherish forever.
