Thanks again Walt(Director, Cinematographer,Unit-1 producer, key grip, best boy, all that hollywood stuff), Rodger (The wheel finder),John, Bob, Jim, and the wonderful support cast at SCCMAS.
This airplane is owned by the Deutsches Museum Flugwerft Schleißheim, and was originally built as an ambulance aircraft in 1936 and spent the bulk of it service life on floats in the Alaska outback. Restored in 1989 to mint condition with its original registration numbers, the plane was flown across the US and dismantled and shipped to Germany by boat.It is kept airworthy at it's home in the German Museum, and fly's to many German airshow's.
WACO (Weaver Aircraft Company) of Loraine, Ohio was one of the premier aircraft manufacturers of the Golden Age. The YKS-6 was a large cabin biplane with seating for 4-5 people. Its large wing area and overall light weight allowed it take off and land in undeveloped areas common to the US in the 1930’s.
Thanks to Lynsel, Michael and even Darryl:-) for your help at getting this bird airborne!! A very successful maiden with only a few gremlins to chase down. She is a keeper for sure!!
