I have spent the day going through over 1000 slides and scanning them in order to complete a project that I am working on for the 50th National Waco Club Reunion in June 2009. This will be the largest gathering of Waco airplanes ever! We will be offering a CD featuring every Waco that has ever attended a NWC Fly-in since 1959. The CD will have every paint scheme as well as some airplanes changed colors every few years. Here is just a small sampling. Too late tonight to properly label each one but if you right click on the photo and go to properties you can find out the model and registration. If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me.

Enjoy the photos!

Where will the reunion be? Mt Vernon? Might have to add it to the calendar! CD should be a great resource!

The 50th Reunion will be held at Wynkoop Airport (6G4) in Mt. Vernon, Ohio the week of June 23-28, 2009. We are expecting 50-75 Wacos to attend this once in a lifetime event.

Ok, so like 2 months ago my wife I visited the air park there off 75 and met a guy whose wife had two RNFs and he was working on them. That would be you guys right? Working on the sister ships from texas, using one as a model?

Thanks for the dates on the get together. Will arrange my calender to make it.

Love the ZPF-6, had the occasion to ride it once when owned by Bill Turso and then again with its present owner Bob Tullius in Sebring, FL.

The airplane is for sale again from what I have heard. The original Texaco ZPF-6 was involved in a fire back in the 1960's. This airplane was restored using a UPF-7 fuselage back when Mike Keedy owned it.
