We were fortunate to catch the annual fly-in for Waco planes at the airfield north of Dayton where they were built in the late 1920s and early 30s.
About 25 planes were flown by their private owners for the weekend….all lovingly and painstakingly restored to perfection….and shown to crowds of admirers.
As originally built, each plane was custom in its design and decoration, but all had double wings and a single engine in front. Notice that some were open cockpit, some had a single canopy for two seats front-to-back, and some had a modern cabin.
In the final picture, notice the unusual arrival with two wings….(you’ll probably need to click on it and view on a large screen)….
Didn’t attend in person so doubly appreciative of your pictures. Thanks again for sharing.
Fun to have so much airplane history all around us…glad to share….
