They fly in from all over the country and spend a week visiting friends and airfields. Among the many stops, is always the fly in lunch at Andy Barnhart Memorial Airport, New Carlisle Ohio. The weather was questionable, with winds gusting to 15mph. Although this limited the number of planes, enough showed up for a good photo shoot. Here are a few shots of that luncheon! ============ http://www.nationalwacoclub.com/index_002.htm Photos ==================== http://www.nationalwacoclub.com/index_012.htm National Waco Biwing Club website & history. =================== http://www.nationalwacoclub.com/index_023.htm 55th Annual Fly-in website JUNE 26 - 29 2014 Next year's reunion will be at Wyncoup Air Field, just two miles south of Mt.

The term is also used, with varying degrees of correctness, for a variety of other materials, including tar-grouted macadam, bituminous surface treatments, and modern asphalt concrete. The term is also often used incorrectly to describe airport aprons, "ramps", and runways. --------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/National-WACO-Club/221864970704 pictures. ============= https://www.facebook.com/pages/WACO-Historical-Society/121745275492 ========== www.wacoaircraft.com/assets/PDFs/Magazine-and-News-Articles/FlyingMagazineSept2010.pdf Downloadable .pdf file on Waco manufacture.
