Here are a few shots of some of the WACOs at the American WACO Club Flyin at Creve Coeur Airport this weekend. Some of these pilots braved thunderstorms, density altitude numbers that made even flat land St. Louis feel more like Denver, and crazy 100 LL prices to get here. I've got more if anyone wants. Just let me know.

Dude!
Are you kidding!?! If you got 'em, post 'em!! Who's beautiful UPF in maroon and cream (and I love the scallops) is that?

Only thing better in my estimation is WACOS amongst senior PACKARDS

Sorry to hear about the crappy weather you had. I was laid up in the hospital and didnt make it down this year. What was the total that actually flew in? I have heard between 8-10.

Thanks for sharing the pics. The green Waco UBA with the polished cowling in your last set of pictures lives not far from me. Interesting aircraft- I never realized Waco made open cockpit aircraft with side-by-side seating.
