Weighing 450 pounds less than its predecessor while maintaining similar performance, the F series could accommodate three persons in tandem cockpits. Over 600 F series aircraft were manufactured by the Waco Aircraft Company in Troy, Ohio during the early 1930s. AviatorDB tracks 678 Waco aircraft currently registered in the FAA database.
