AVweb's Waco Flight Trial

If you think the glory days of classic biplanes are long gone, check out Waco's new YMF-5D, with a full glass cockpit no less. Paul Bertorelli flew it at Sun 'n Fun and says it's a high-zoot hoot.

Haaa! Classic stuff from Paul 10 years ago!!
One on Barnstormers now for $160k! Juan.

Yet another genius video, Burto you make me piss my kegs here in the uk

Wacos can be fully IFR so if you wanted to, you could drop out of the base of a 200ft overcast, taxi up the the FBO and toss your ice and crusted goggles on the counter and say fill her up, try that in your wimpy LSA

N369AS... Beautiful flying airplane and Bob is one heck of a pilot. His name is first in my logbook.

[@MichaelVanHeemst]

The Waco is EPIC

[@straighttailpilot]

Awesome aircraft!

[@aviator147]

awesome, the biplane needs a modern day revival

[@masterchiefgtx]

Wow...that's a nice plane!

[@GlideYNRG]

I am surprised Paul, that the Jacobs wasn't set up for fuel injection considering the amount of technology in this. Very beautiful ship.

[@JPH1786]

Paul, I want your job...get to play with all the cool new toys!

[@capiluis]

i like the cockpit!

[@pompom906]

you're right. why should they go to college! Make mine a yellow one ☺

[@pdutube]

Man Wacos are sweet!

[@drewgray1458]

This may be a silly question, but if you do get caught in a storm, do you get wet or does the windscreen force enough air up to keep you dry?

[@XaircraftX]

Nice airplane!

[@peterfbowers]

@MsTickerman
Yes, it's injected with the Radial Engines LTD system.

[@8literbeater]

@flykalamazoo You got that right. I talked to a rep last month and a turbo 182 with glass was 425K, and that's not even fully loaded.

[@sorted0blud]

@TheMrAWeaver lol gotta love Paul Bertorelli :P

[@chestateegold]

I need to hit the lottery

[@DavZZee]

It's a beauty but I still like the Staggerwing better.

[@tisoy909]

"56 Chevy size bench seat up front" Does that mean its a two place up front?

[@loveguitar2x]

+tisoy909 yeah, just have to remove the stick from the front.

[@nicholasskific4795]

Is it possible to order one of these aircraft with analog gauges instead of digital ones

[@HarleyQuinn_93]

Yes

[@therabbit0]

I have a guy that lives around here that has one of thoughs

[@MrWhileloops]

How much do they cost?

[@flykalamazoo]

400k is cheaper than a new 182

[@peterfbowers]

@bluedog1976 - Yes it's injected.

[@MrWhileloops]

oh never mind my comment. It costs 4000
