My dad flew (in Indiana) with a pal in the years after WW2 and the pal had a WACO 6. I would like to see a photo of this plane...just out of curiosity. They used to land in cow pastures and ask permission to fish the farm ponds.

I acquired my WACO UPF-7 N30199,ten years ago and have enjoyed it so much that I have put 1400 hours in it. From Spruce Creek Fly-In Daytona Beach, Florida, I have flown around the lower 48 states three times and up in to northern Alaska north of the arctic circle. This summer I am heading to Labrador. It is a great flying plane.

I was a lucky kid at Bernard Airport in Youngstown, Ohio. I was 17 when I checked out in UPF-7 NC32167. I loved to do aerobatics and inverted you had better get some forward pressure applied. Rolled nicely, engine quit throughout most of the roll - dirt off the belly flying around - how I miss that! I worked at the airport for several years and got to fly the old-good stuff - YES!

I flew the Waco UPF-7 in CPTP Secondary training in 1942. An hour of aerobatics was a physical work-out. It was winter in Massachusetts and I flew until I could barely feel my feet while sitting on each hand alternately. I would gladly do it again if I could pass a flight physical.

My first flight was in a UPF7 as one of two passengers in the front cockpit in 1945. The flight lasted for about 15 minutes and we flew from a pasture just north of McGehee Arkansas and then over my home town of Dermott. It cost me five dollars and was the best $5 I ever spent.

I was part owner in Waco UPF-7 N29300. I flew it a few times over Seattle in 1665 when I was a traffic reporter for radio KOL while my Beach Musketeer was getting its 100 hr. I was promoted as "The KOL Sky Spy". I was 35 at the time. I wish I still had it. I have pictures.

Check out the Waco Museum and annual fly-in of new and vintage Waco's in Troy Ohio (near the original plant of manufacture of the vintage aircraft). Those few models shown here are dwarfed by real flying beauties.

My wife and I flew as passengers (2 of us in the front seat)in one of these at the Boeing Airfield. It had the original instruments....flew a left hand rectagonal pattern out over the Sound at an altitude that was just below that of tallest building in downtown Seattle.....what a hoot!
