Experience WACO with us.
If you're planning a visit, you're in for a delightful dive into aviation history. Nestled just south of Troy at 1865 S. County Road 25A, the museum celebrates the legacy of the Waco Aircraft Company, once America's top civil aircraft manufacturer in the 1920s and ’30s — through its impressive collection of original biplanes, gliders, and interactive exhibits.
Held each September, this nostalgic celebration of aviation’s golden era draws around 70 aircraft including vintage and modern WACO biplanes from across the United States. Over a lively three‑day weekend, guests can enjoy open‑cockpit biplane and helicopter rides, food trucks, a vintage car show, live music, kids' activities, paramotor and ultralight demonstrations, as well as full access to multiple buildings dedicated to WACO history and a gift shop.
Just a glimpse: You and a companion settle into the open front cockpit while the pilot occupies the rear. Moments later, the engine sputters to a roar, and as Sunny rolls down the grass runway, the world beneath you slips away in a wash of countryside. You’ll scan the Great Miami River, spotting octagonal barns, and feeling the wind whip past as the wings dip and bank you gently through the sky — an exhilarating yet surprising journey that reconnects you with the golden era of flight.
