WACO ATO NX5673

Waco NX5673 follows the same pattern of visits to Tucson as its two sister ships NX5533 and NX7527. NX5673 landed on September 11, 1928 as a competitor in the 1928 National Air Races Class B event. This airplane was flown by Charles W. Meyers who placed 5th (25:04:13) in the New York to Los Angeles race that year. What we have is three Waco ATO "Taperwing" aircraft that comprised the Waco race team that year. They placed 1st, 3rd and 5th in the Class B race. Follow this link to see an image of all three of these aircraft in the air at once. Follow this link to see an image of 5673 in a used airplane advertisement. The depreciation is exhilarating.
