Waco YMF-5C

When production of the WACO YMF Classic was re-established in 1986 by the Classic Aircraft Corp in Lansing, MI, many updated features were integrated into the design without taking away from the original heart and soul of the aircraft. Based on constructive input from valued customers all over the world, the WACO YMF-5 Super was developed. Today’s current production aircraft now offer a complete array of updated features making it the finest most luxurious sport biplane anywhere.
