Here is my buddy Jeff Skiles with his new Waco....a 1935 Waco YOC NC15244, the only YOC model flying. And yes, this is the same Jeff Skiles who was the co-pilot on USAIRWAYS flight 1549 that ditched in the Hudson River. He and Sully are now Co-Chairmen of the EAA Young Eagles Program.
Visiting our hangar on his flight home with his new "baby" along with friends Larry & Ilse Harmacinski. Larry was checking Jeff out in the Waco.
and they stayed 3 days. That's my 1935 Waco YKC-S (only one flying of that model as well). 1935 was the first year Waco produced what they called a "Standard" Cabin and a "Custom" Cabin. Notice the different landing gears, tails and wings? The "Custom" series had a longer fuselage with more room and were actually sesquiplanes, not biplanes, meaning the bottom wings were 1/2 the square area of the top wings.
