Waco aircraft in the FAA registry
The Waco Aircraft Company, based in Troy, Ohio, produced a wide range of civilian biplanes between 1920 and 1947. Originally operating as the Weaver Aircraft Company of Ohio, the business changed its name to the Waco Aircraft Company in 1928 or 1929. Today, aviation enthusiasts and buyers can track these historic aircraft through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) registry.
According to the FAA registry file data as of 2026-10-16, there are 657 registered aircraft under the manufacturer name "WACO." These represent 81 distinct models, with 648 valid registrations. Every aircraft has a specific registration record by N-number, allowing for precise tracking of individual airframes. The fleet consists mainly of fixed-wing, single-engine aircraft powered by reciprocating engines. Most of these planes were built between 1927 and 1986, with half of the total built in 1936 or earlier.
The majority of the fleet, 494 aircraft, holds an airworthiness class of standard, while 23 are classified as restricted and 15 as experimental. Geographically, Ohio leads with 79 registrations, followed by California with 67, and Illinois with 40. The most registered model is the UPF-7, with 189 aircraft built between 1939 and 1949. Other significant models include the RNF (35 aircraft, built 1930 to 1938), the GXE (33 aircraft, built 1927 to 1929), and the ASO (33 aircraft, built 1927 to 1931). The ATO (27 aircraft, built 1928 to 1930) and YKS-7 (21 aircraft, built 1937 to 1940) also have notable presence.
Type Certificate Data Sheets (TCDS) provide the technical specifications for these models. The WACO Aircraft Company holds TCDS A-642 for the UPF-7, ATC 311 for the RNF, ATC 13 for the GXE, ATC 41 for the ASO, and ATC 123 for the ATO. Additionally, the FAA registry lists 53 aircraft under the manufacturer name "WACO CLASSIC AIRCRAFT," which has its own dedicated page. Each model page includes specifications and the relevant TCDS for reference.
The FAA registry also lists this company's aircraft as WACO CLASSIC AIRCRAFT.
