WACO Biplanes, Brand new...!

[PLOTUS]

Many of us fantasize about flying and the freedom it allows. There is a company now,  in 2020 that is in the business of building these Vintage Aircraft to original specifications. Of course with materials that have become superior as time passes, yet of original design.  They endevor to remain as 'Vintage' as possible outwardly, while retaining the 'look of decades gone by' 



The primary offerings are the WACO YMF-5 and the more performance related Great Lakes model.

The WACO YMF-5 here: 

And here:



While the Great Lakes is of a slightly different configuration and powerplant. Much sleeker and affording a greater forward view.





OK, HOW MUCH     ?  

Well forget your kids college fund, sell your vacation properties furthest from private airports or landing strips..... and plan on building a Hanger to stash your Toy ('s) in.... It's going to set you back about oh... $400,000 K, maybe a scoush more by time you configure accessories.... which to be honest are few. But Bespoke paint could well cost you umm... how crazy do you want to get. In the scheeme of things, the price is sort of a bargain. New Mooneys sell for upwards of double that if equipted with nice control systems and modern Glass (guages, Radio, navigation upgrades.  So in reality, the YMF-5 or the Great Lakes are bargains. 

Of course as you gathered, with the open cockpit it would be primarily fair weather use. But as I said, Bespoke can be had, and a closed cockpit could be added. But still...? My guess is you'd rather have nice weather on a Saturday or Sunday morning flight.


or any day of the week lol.


And more EYE CANDY......  

So are you ready for an adventure ? An Indiana Jones type adventure, a mysterious Lost Island adventure with only your companion ? Or  a picnic at some quaint airstrip far from the clutter and noise.

So hay.... most of your kids are already smart........................................allecks anyway... OR if your a Wise Guy, you could have both, just like 'The Sopranos ...hmm hmmm ha ha.

So yea....... are you game... ?
