ANNUAL FLY-IN
SEPTEMBER 18-20, 2026
Our most anticipated weekend of the year!
Step back into aviation’s golden age at WACO Museum’s annual fly-in, a September tradition that brings pilots, families, and history lovers together in Troy, Ohio. From the rumble of radial engines to the sight of WACO biplanes returning home, this three-day celebration is where history takes flight.
September in Troy, OH
Vintage Aircraft + Classic Cars + Museum Exhibits + Family Activities = Unforgettable Memories
Volunteers needed!
Volunteering at the 2026 WACO Fly-In is a great way to be part of the event while supporting aviation education in our local community. All volunteers receive complimentary lunch and free admission to the Fly-In for the entire weekend.
Your support helps us introduce new people to general aviation, share the history and legacy of WACO aircraft, and further the mission of the WACO Education Center & Air Museum. Whether you can join us for a single shift or spend the weekend volunteering, your time and support make a meaningful difference.
