More WAAAM

[SuberAvid 617]

Had a great time meeting Mark (Chewie) while I was in Hood River this last trip and visiting the WAAAM museum with him.  Here are some more pictures just to get everyone drooling.  Concentrating on biplanes this time.  How about those WACO's!  New additions since I was there last.

 

Oh, I can't resist; and my elk from a fun, successful hunt!

Nice pictures Randy! Glad your hunt was successful so far from home!

Great photos Randy - Sometime when I go to get my struts welded, I will try to get a photo of a bare WACO fuselage being built.

When I first met my welder, I asked "Why does everyone here call them Wahkos, when Williams Aircraft Company was in Texas, and they call the town WAYKO?" He quickly pointed out my ignorance by showing me the blueprints from WEAVER AIRCRAFT COMPANY, in Ohio or somewhere - not in Waco, Texas!

We live and learn!
