The Black & White Biplane flies over the beach in south Florida. This beautiful Waco was the very first production airplane made in the modern Waco factory, when it was still in Lansing, Michigan. It is the lightest known Waco YMF-5, clocking in at 1998 pounds empty weight. This is a great and unique machine, and it's available for rides. Right now we're in Florida, but the Black & White Biplane will be flying to New England and then California soon and stopping for riders along the way. Check www.blackandwhitebiplane.com

  • N1935B was Waco Number 1 out of the Lansing factory. It's still out there, but it was never Black and White...N89ML

  • 1935B was actually the prototype, and N99Y was built side by side with it as the first production airplane. So, it turned out that Serial Number 2 was actually the first production airplane, with 1935B, Serial Number 1, getting its certification later. So, though there is one earlier serial number, Number 2 was the first production airplane. At the WACO factory, the engineering room walls are covered with photographs mostly of Number 2. Hope this helps clear up this bit of WACO trivia.
