At last week’s WACO Fly-In in Ohio, two pilots from Austin, Texas — Doug Jaffe and his son, Jordan — surprised the staff of the WACO Air Museum by donating a a 2004 WACO Classic YMF-F5C, 3-seat aircraft. According to a story in the Troy Daily News, the generous donation was “out of the blue.”
The pair had visited the museum about a year ago and were so impressed by the museum and its Aviation Learning Center that they wanted to make a donation. The story notes that Doug Jaffe said that the airplane donation was a way to “give back” to aviation and an organization that worked hard to preserve aviation history.
