N17425

This airframe, registered as N17425, is an example of the Aeronca LC built in 1936 with manufacturer serial number 2054. The airframe is owned by MACVEIGH CRAIG A, an individual based in Seattle, WA, US, and has been recorded in civil registries under that ownership; no further notable registry actions are published. The type is operated as a fixed-wing single-engine aircraft and its historical operational record as a specific airframe centers on private ownership and local basing in the Pacific Northwest.

The cabin of this particular Aeronca LC is a 2-place side-by-side arrangement with dual controls, supporting conventional pilot-and-passenger or instructional configurations. Specific avionics fit and modern equipment retrofits for this airframe are Not published, so typical navigation and communication capability must be inferred from owner-modified installations or period-correct restorations. Based in Seattle, WA, typical mission profiles for the type and this example would include short cross-country flights, local recreational flying, and instructional use where the dual controls are employed. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on preserving the airframe and its single Warner radial derivative powerplant to period standards, with special attention to sourcing parts and maintaining structural and control system integrity for safe continued operation.

The Aeronca LC occupies a pre-war light aircraft niche characterized by modest cruise speeds and short-to-moderate range tailored to private owners and flight instruction. Competing models in its era and subsequent vintage-market comparisons include other small two-seat high-wing and low-wing trainers and tourers; demand is driven by collectors and owners seeking classic types rather than commercial charter operations. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe reflect the usual challenges of vintage aircraft: provenance tied to serial 2054, condition-dependent valuations, and the need for specialized maintenance for legacy engines and airframe components.
