Waco F-series N32000 makes the type's first entry in this collection
N32000 is listed as built in 1941. Its recorded flight adds an 85-year-old biplane to the collection.
An 85-year-old biplane made the Waco F-series' first appearance in this collection's retained records on September 10, 2026. The aircraft database identifies it as N32000 and lists its build year as 1941. No earlier story in this collection covered the type.
Waco's history survives in more than aircraft: the Smithsonian holds company drawings, engineering reports and sales records that document much more than a single familiar biplane. Those materials give the type a broader historical backdrop to this recorded flight by N32000.
