64th National WACO Club Reunion 2023

This video was taken Friday evening on June 23rd during the 64th National Waco Club Reunion at Wynkoop Airport in Mount Vernon, Ohio. We have video footage of an engine startup, airplane take-offs, landings and a low level flight over the landing strip. Some of the video footage was shot right before the storm so the sky and clouds really add to the look and feel of the video.
WACO Airplanes (pronounced WAH-CO) was founded in 1920 and ceased operations in 1940. They are known as a biplane and they have a very unique upper and lower wing design. I am fascinated by many of the engines on these WACO planes and the type of propellers range from wood to metal. Some of these planes feature open cockpits and some models have closed cockpits and the seating can range from side by side seating to inline seating. Something many people won't know until they see them up close is that there are models where the pilot sits in the back seat position which surprised me when I first saw one of these planes more than 30 years ago.
The majority of the population will likely not have an opportunity to experience one of these historical masterpieces. Ohio residents and specifically the residents of Knox County Ohio have been fortunate because we have an opportunity to see and experience the sites and sounds of these marvelous flying machines.
Thanks for watching!

those WACO biplanes are all just so beautiful.. great meeting!

[@SamMillerSells]

I would love to mount a few of my cameras on them and get some in flight videos - Sam

❤❤❤❤

[@SamMillerSells]

Thank Beegee! I plan to visit the Reunion again this year and maybe we can mount a few of our cameras onto a couple of the planes and get some POV video. I think that would add an entirely new perspective to the video - Sam Miller

[@beegee22]

@SamMillerSells POV video would definitely be an enhancement. These are beautiful aircraft and the cabin biplanes along with the Beechcraft Staggerwing are in a class of their own. Thank you! 👍👏

[@SamMillerSells]

@@beegee22 I am going to really try to make this happen in July - Sam

In a typical in line 2 seater, the pilot sits in the rear seat because the plane is designed to balance that way. The passenger seat is placed at the center of gravity so the plane remains properly balanced with or without a passenger.

David, Thanks for commenting! These planes are super amazing especially when you consider the limited technology they had back when these planes were created. They are incredible - Sam

[@10OZDuster]

thanks for NOT putting music....the rumble of the Radials are amazing and the planes awesome !!

[@SamMillerSells]

I agree - The sound of those classic engines was enough music to put a smile on our faces - Sam

Those are some sweet looking planes. I could listen to those engines all day long.

The turnout this year was a little lower than normal but it was made up with high quality WACO planes. They were gorgeous, the owners were super nice and they spent a lot of time in the air flying over Mount Vernon, Ohio which was an amazing site to see - Sam Miller
