There seemed to be a fair amount of interest in the Wacos so I thought I would start a new thread showing some of the attendees at the 2008 National Waco Club Reunion. This is the oldest type club and there is an emphasis on the reunion. There are people behind those airplanes and that makes this gathering a bit special! Particularily this year as there was some very inclimate weather. But the show goes on! I spend so much time there gabbing there isn't much time for proper photo taking...especially with my lack of skills! There are repeat attendees from the Creve Coeur event so I won't duplicate those here...
Cabins first! Aaaahhhh....colorful delightful flying Wacos, sweet smelling cool turf and not a square inch of hot hard surface to be found. Flying as it should be!

...of course safety first....the requisite pass to assure a landing area clear of metal spam cans, coyotes, and rats-with-antlers (deer for the PETA folks)
Next year will be the grand show....the 50th NWC Reunion. Plan now....23-28 June 2009, Wynkoop Airport 6G4, Mt. Vernon, OH.
In that event...just steal a Taperwing from the museum and drive it. If you bring Question Mark, you might have problems getting back....I'd nail that thing to the ground so tight it'd never leave! Neat plane!
