Hi,
I am trying to get some photo''s or any other information on the Waco that was owned By Tom Reilly of the Flying Tigers at Kissimmee Florida.
I know he has sold it but were it has gone I have no idea, trying to contact the museum at Kissimmee is like trying to find the holy grail it just isn't going to happen.
I would appreciate any information that can be supplied.
Cheers Jim.

You might want to check out this album from the FTWRM...

I am not an expert in the classics. There was one bi-plane hanging from the ceiling that I did not ID. Perhaps this is the Waco?...

Thanks Mrhenniger that plane was still hanging from the roof last year,the Waco had an exposed radial engine many tahnks for your help.
The reason for trying to get information about this plane is that when my daughter was 5 we had a flight in it over the Kissimmee and Disney area I build R/C model aircraft and I thought it would be quite cool to build a scale model of it,my daughter is now almost 14 so it was a while ago.
Cheers Jim.

I saw this Waco YMF giving pleasure Flights at Kissimee in Dec 1996
I've created a 'Misc' album & posted it on my Webshots section at:-

Was this one yours?

Have a few other shots of it, but all from generally the same front 3/4 view unfortunately

Thanks Lorence,
I am now a lot further forward now I have a registration to work on,I am an incomer to Broxburn only been here 21 years.Are you a Bathgate bairn or like myself an incomer to the area.
Not long after we left Florida it looks like an inexperienced pilot screwed up his landing, and seems to have damaged it with quite a bit of damage.It is now in the hands of some one in Salt Lake City but trying to find out who is like mission impossible.
Thanks again Jim. :D :D :D
