Special thanks to Brian Butko and Sue Morris for their wonderful presentation at the WACO Aviation Lecture Series last night. They are pictured in front of Miss McKeesport, a WACO 9, and one of the first airmail airplanes that we are proud to have in our collection at the WACO Air Museum. Following the presentation, Brian and Sue also took time to sign copies of their book and visit with guests. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge, stories, and passion for aviation history with our community!

We are deeply saddened to learn of the closure of WACO Aircraft in Battle Creek, MI. For many years, the factory in Battle Creek has been producing a modernized version of the WACO YMF 5 biplane, which was originally designed and manufactured in Troy, OH, by the historic WACO Aircraft Company.
The WACO Air Museum in Troy, OH, remains open and steadfast in its mission to preserve the history of WACO airplanes, the stories of the factory employees, and the legacy of the original WACO Aircraft Company, which produced biplanes from 1923 to 1947. The museum continues to operate its grass strip runway, reminiscent of the Barnstorming Era, offering guests the opportunity to experience flight in a WACO biplane.
In addition, the education center on the WACO property remains committed to inspiring future generations through aviation and STEM education while honoring and preserving the WACO aviation legacy.
Come visit us on weekdays from 10 am – 3 pm (closed on Wednesdays) or on weekends from 12 – 5 pm.
