Description
Do NOT buy this plane… UNLESS (1) you don’t mind having every aviation enthusiast at your home airport, and every airport where you land, run over to see your plane and tell you how strikingly beautiful it is, and (2) you want to really FEEL that you’re flying in a way that’s far, far stronger than you’ve ever felt in any closed cockpit airplane! This will be the prettiest plane you’ve ever flown. The bright yellow airframe trimmed in vivid blue and red is simply stunning. And as good as it looks in these photos, it’s even better in person. You’ve got to see it yourself to really appreciate its beauty. That’s why I chose to buy this plane three years ago instead of any of the less expensive planes on the market – that, and the low time on this aircraft. And there’s a third reason to own this particular plane. It’s in like-new condition, for half the price. It’s been maintained by West Coast Air Creations – the team that has restored many vintage Wacos and other vintage planes, and who teach the fabric course at Oshkosh. These guys know Wacos inside and out, which is why I’ve only used them for the annuals and any other minor work needed to keep this plane in perfect condition. The plane is IFR certified, though I fly it VFR. It’s way too much fun to look around! Call today to find out more.
