1929 Waco model ATO NC8565
This aircraft underwent a complete and total restoration with all airframe structures reconstructed with new materials. The owner wished to have a custom race style look which is embodied in the cowled engine, racing style windshields, Cleveland wheels and brakes with wheel pants. The front windshield is removable allowing the installation of a front cockpit cover, also a racing iteration.

The cockpits are finished in genuine leather with leather upholstered sidepanels and leather cockpit coaming. A GPS, Com and transponder make it usable for cross country and allow operation in controlled airspace. Five point harnesses are installed front and rear. A 275 hp Jacobs from Radial Engines Ltd is installed with a Hamilton Standard constant speed propeller.
The restoration of this aircraft was completed in July 2002. It resides in Bozeman, Montana where it can be seen in the air almost daily.
