Identify
This Swift
|
| "Here's
the story as I recall it. It was either 56' or more
likely 57' when I was asked by a guy who had just
bought the airplane for a "check out". Truthfully,
I had never flown a Swift before, but what the heck?
I am a certified instructor, aren't I? As I recall
it was two brothers who had bought the airplane and
I was to fly with one of them. The wind was out of
the north (not a good sign) at the old el Monte airport.
The engine was an 85 hp with a controllable propeller
via a hand crank on the instrument panel. We took
off and I was immediately impressed by the lack of
power; like 85 hp should get anything out of el Monte
better than this did. We made one pass around the
airport and landed. I told the guy that the engine
was not developing full power and that I would suggest
taking it into the shop there at el Monte and having
it checked out before making anymore flights, and
that I wouldn't fly in it again until it was repaired.
I never made a log book entry due to the brief flight,
so I can't say what the date was. So later on in the
day I saw the feeble Swift taking off again to the
north. I ran over from my vantage point and saw the
Swift hit the old wooden bridge that covered lower
Azusa road over the the rio Hondo river."
It is hard to read the tail number because of debris.
It is listed as a picture in google as N80808, which
I know is incorrect.
Do you have any information about this Swift? |

Lemanski replied, I saw a Swift with flat plate tips
at the now long deceased McKinley airport in the NE
suburbs of Detroit about 1976.
Could this be it? |
