Video: flying the Waco biplane
1 min read
For pure stick and rudder fun, it’s hard to beat the Waco YMF-5D biplane. While it features a lot of modern improvements, it also retains the magic of aviation’s early days: open cockpit, fabric-covered fuselage, and two sets of wings. Ride along in a Waco as this pilot takes it on a tour of Southern California and shows off the impressive avionics inside this vintage-looking airplane.
