  Welcome to my website for enthusiasts of Aeronca Aircraft. The website will contain a growing collection of information and links for pilots, owners, and restorers of these fine classic airplanes.

Aeronca 11AC Chief, N86176

This is my 1946 Aeronca 11AC Chief, N86176, purchased August  28, 1999 from Tom Miller of Vine Grove, Kentucky.  It was completely restored by Tom in 1998 and was flown to Oshkosh '99 where it won the award for best Aeronca Chief.  Tom is an outstanding craftsman and I am fortuntate that he was willing to part with his Chief.  With an A-65 Continental and no electrical system, this is a "low and slow" airplane, just perfect for fun flying while I continue the restoration of my Stinson 108-3. The photo above was taken at Frederick Municipal Airport, Frederick, MD., just outside the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) building.

I will be adding more information of interest to Aeronca enthusiasts as I develop this website. In the meantime, I'd enjoy hearing from anyone who shares an interest in Aeronca (or Stinson) aircraft.  I especially welcome comments about corrections that are needed, whether they be in content or style. E-mail me at John@hangar9aeroworks.com.

Special:  My friend Dale Jewett is offering his rare and beautiful 1939 Stinson HW-75 for sale or trade for an Aeronca 11BC Chief.  Click on the photo below for details.
