Kind of. I'm pretty sure the first is a waco. They give rides in it for $35 per person. Not bad. And I think the third one was built by ryan flying co.

I was hoping you could tell me. I'm not too good at US vintage types as there's so many of them. You got the first one right. It's a Waco YKS-7. #2 is the Spartan 7W Executive "Mrs Mennen". #3 could be a Ryan design but I don't recognise it.

PS. I confess to cheating a little. Here's a list of the EAA Museum aircraft. Wink

The reason I say it could be Ryan is because it was in the Ryan hanger. And I belive I remember reading that it was a Ryan.

That does sound pretty conclusive. Wink

There's plenty I don't know. LOL Wink

I found out what it is. The prototype Ryan SC-W (Sport Coupe). Here's another one. Shiny ain't it? Cheesy

This page shows some of the problems with keeping these vintage aircraft flying. If the spares aren't available you have to manufacture them yourself. There's some clever people about.
