‘The Embry-Riddle WACO Will Inspire Thousands Of Budding Aviators Around The Nation’
Embry-Riddle is trying to raise $150,000 to fully restore its historic 1928 WACO aircraft, owned by founder, T. Higbee Embry, and used in the school’s early days for flight training and airmail delivery. They say their short-term goal is to complete the airplane by early July so that it can make its debut at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2016.
