KELMO Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 This came through over the weekend. I THINK he said it was a Globe Smith...maybe, damn my memory. I do remember he said it was 72 years old. 2 Quote Link to comment
flyerdan Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 It's a Globe Swift. They were post war production aircraft aimed at returning fighter pilots, since they are retractable taildraggers. With the flood of surplus military trainers offering more bang for the buck, the GA post war market didn't take off as much as everyone hoped. Swifts are fun little planes, I got to fly one once. 1 Quote Link to comment
