Oshkosh 2026: A Jet-Powered WACO Gets the Frame

AVweb has chosen a jet-powered WACO biplane, captured at Oshkosh 2026, for its daily photograph. The pairing of a radial-era airframe with turbine thrust is the kind of thing that stops foot traffic on the flight line, and the editors evidently thought so too. The caption describes the aircraft's work as dancing, which tells you roughly what the shot shows: a biplane doing things biplanes were never built to do. For owners who flew in rather than drove, it is one more reason the Wisconsin ramp is worth the slot.
