1929 Waco ASO
Livery: Texaco
Tail number NC608N
Rich Hornbeck of Bowdoinham, Maine, owns what used to be the tow plane for Texaco's "Eaglet" Franklin Utility Glider, which, piloted by Frank Hawks, made a transcontinental flight in 1930 (today it belongs to the National Air and Space Museum). The Waco had an airshow career in the late 1930s, when it was modified to allow a Piper J-3 Cub to land on it.
