Jack Links Screamin' Sasquatch, twin-engine jet powered 1929 Taperwing Waco. Always interesting to watch and listen to this aircraft.

My goodness - a biplane with a jet engine!  There cannot be too many of such aircraft in the world.

A very colourful image indeed.  Thanks for posting.

Very nice shot of a quite special airplane.
I wanted to see it flying and searched YouTube, which gives some results.
Here is one: https://youtu.be/U91rAWbD2Wc (https://youtu.be/U91rAWbD2Wc)

Thanks all. It is very interesting to watch this aircraft in action. The roar of that big radial combined with the jet kicking on and off as the pilot flies his routine. For an old biplane, she can sure move fast.
