One of the oldest Waco aircraft still flying was in attendance for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023. This is Walt Bowe's beautiful Waco 9. #EAA #aircraft #aviation #Waco #vintage #vintageaircraft #OSH23 #Oshkosh #AirVenture | EAA - The Spirit of Aviation

Peter Dugdale's Waco UPF-7 was built in 1941, and made its first flight on May 7 of that year. It passed through multiple owners for the next few years, then made its last flight in September of 1948. Fast forward several decades (and even more owners) and Peter bought it and brought it back to life; after an extensive multi-year restoration, the beautiful biplane returned to the sky in late October 2023, more than 75 years after its last flight. #aircraft #aviation #vintageairplane #taildragger
