1929 Waco fully restored and upgraded to modern standards
So much fun!!! thank you Ferdinand for taking me up. We did rolls, loops, and Hammerhead stalls out over the delta. I even got to fly the aircraft for a bit at 4500'. kick in the pants ride.

Part of the preflight was parachute ground school. I thought of Bo at that point. Interesting putting on the parachute (no reserve or auto deploy) and practicing getting in and out of the aircraft in an emergency (essentially you are fubared in the front seat).
