Waco aircraft in the FAA registry

The Waco Aircraft Company (WACO) was an aircraft manufacturer located in Troy, Ohio, United States. Between 1920 and 1947, the company produced a wide range of civilian biplanes. The company initially started under the name Weaver Aircraft Company of Ohio but changed its name to the Waco Aircraft Company in 1928/29.

As of October 16, 2026, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) registry lists 53 aircraft under the manufacturer name "WACO CLASSIC AIRCRAFT." These registrations represent 52 valid entries across one distinct model. All 53 aircraft are classified as fixed-wing, single-engine planes powered by reciprocating engines. The majority of these aircraft were built between 1992 and 2024. Half of the fleet was built in 2011 or earlier.

The registered Waco aircraft are dominated by the YMF-F5C model. This specific variant accounts for all 53 registrations in this registry group. The YMF-F5C has been built from 1992 to 2024 and features three seats. Forty-seven of these aircraft hold an airworthiness class of standard, while one is classified as experimental.

Geographic distribution shows Florida with the highest number of registrations, totaling seven. Texas follows with four registrations, and North Carolina holds three. The FAA registry also lists additional aircraft under the simpler manufacturer name "WACO," with 657 total registrations appearing on a separate page. These entries cover a broader range of Waco models and historical registrations distinct from the "WACO CLASSIC AIRCRAFT" group.

Each registered aircraft has a specific N-number lookup record available for verification. The data reflects the current status of these airworthy and non-airworthy entries as recorded in the FAA database.

The FAA registry also lists this company's aircraft as WACO.
