N919G

This airframe, registered as N919G, is a 1940-built Waco UPF-7 with manufacturer serial number 5416 and a United States registration (US). The historical ownership timeline and operator/home-base particulars are Not published, and there are no publicly supplied registry actions or valuation notes for this specific airframe. Condition and market valuation for this machine are likewise Not published; available data for this entry are limited to manufacturing, performance, and configuration characteristics. The airframe is presented here solely on the basis of its documented technical and configuration attributes.

The cabin for this specific UPF-7 follows the type’s characteristic layout, being a Tandem two‑seat open cockpit (typical for UPF‑7) arrangement that places pilot and passenger in fore-and-aft seating with open exposure to the elements. Avionics fit for this individual aircraft is Not published, so modern outfitting and instrumentation suite cannot be stated from the provided data. With a cruise speed of 99 kts and a range of 348 nm, typical mission profiles for this airframe would be short-range recreational flights, local sightseeing, and vintage-aircraft demonstration hops from a local operator base (operator base Not published). The open cockpit introduces ongoing maintenance considerations for fabric, wood and exposed metalwork, where weatherproofing and regular corrosion inspection are customary for preservation.

The Waco UPF-7 occupies a vintage biplane niche focused on two-seat training, sport and recreational flying rather than cross-country transport, with a service ceiling of 14,800 ft supporting light aerobatic and display work. Competing types in the historical sport/trainer category include other 1930s–1940s-era biplanes; buyer and charter demand tends to be specialist and collector-driven rather than mainstream. Maintenance and resale for this aircraft class emphasize airframe fabric condition, period-correct parts, and the provenance of restoration work, all of which are critical to valuation but are Not published for this particular airframe.
