Detailed Description

Get ready for spring and great open-cockpit flying weather with this beautiful 1986 Waco YMF-5!  This airplane has been giving rides and making smiles its entire life!  It even has "BIPLANE RIDES" on the underside of the wings!  Turn heads everywhere you go with the throaty rumble of the 275-horse Jacobs radial and be the center of attention at every airport you land at!  Will consider a trade for an RV-8, preferably, or an RV-6, 7, 14, or F1 Rocket
