  • Jimmy Franklin's Waco

    I have heard the Waco that Jimmy Franklin flew called the Waco Mystery Ship. I am hoping someone here might know whether that is a model name, or is it a name like Strega is a name. Did Waco build a souped up single seater with a monster motor, and call it the mystery ship or is that a designation started by the Franklins. And if it is not a name does anyone know if he had a name for the plane and what it was.

    It's always been my understanding that the Franklins named it the Mystery Ship. Someone correct me if that's wrong.

      I believe the late great Jim Franklin's Waco's actually started life as a
      UPF-7.
      It was obviously very highly modified- thus the "Mystery Ship" name.
