My father, and my twin Karl and I owned and operated two Chase YC-122C aircraft in the 1960's. I am intrigued by these aircraft, both from the standpoint of their unique design and performance, and the "person" of Mr. Michael Stroukoff. He was quite an engineer and marketer and he really believed in his aircraft.
I have collected quite an assortment of photos, brochures, FAA files, magazine articles and ads and more on the Chase Aircraft, but welcome any contributions from others to enrich the site. I'm especially interested in any manuals on the aircraft.
I'll start to get these posted soon, but in the meantime if your have any comments, corrections or anything to contribute, please contact me.

C-123 Variations |
|
| |
|
What we know as the Fairchild C-123 was actually deisgned by Chase Aircraft, who built the first couple of aircraft. Because of production problems then, C-123 was produced by Fairchild. I have lots of history on that including a Chase Aircraft YC-123 Flight Manual |
