Waco UKC / YKC

UKC-S

WACO delivered 83 UICs before replacing the model with the UKC/YKC/CJC series of standard cabin aircraft in 1934. These trendy airplanes became a favourite of aviators like Jacqueline Cochran and corporate magnates such as Henry Dupont.

Forty 1934 UKC (ATC 528) were built selling for $6,285, redesignated UKC-S Standard in 1935, and UKS-6 in 1936.
