Originally designed to be a high end aircraft for individuals of means. The Waco has managed to retain its status as one of the most stylish and comfortable biplanes of the 1930s, and 1940s. Acquired by TacAero after completion of a meticulous restoration, our UPF-7 has enjoyed an active life of scenic rides and has introduced young and old alike to the thrill of the golden age of aviation. As a trainer our Waco has been used to teach aviators the nuances of operating antique biplanes, and round engines.
