Frank Pavliga in Ohio with his 1925 Waco 9. The engine isn't quite turning up enough static rpm yet, have to figure that out, but it did get to 3 feet of altitude on a hop down the runway yesterday-

Beautiful aeroplane!!! Will you attend Oshkosh this year? If not, we would like to visit you during the week after Oshkosh!
If this would be possible, which would be your address, location of your Waco?

Kind regards
Hans & Sam Gautschi, Switzerland

The Waco 9 won't make it to Oshkosh this year, but you should be able to see it at its home base at Barber Airport in Alliance, OH.

Update, the Waco 9 finally flew last night (there were lots of bugs to work out since last fall, paperwork and otherwise, and then winter...), 20 minutes in the hands of Forrest Barber, no problems. Could very well be at Oshkosh this year-

Wonderful! Congratulations!

I remember seeing the Leaven's Waco 10 flying around here when I was a young pilot. Same OX sound...
