Dick Roe’s 15A was made in April 1954. It started life in Texas at a Flying School, migrated to Alaska in the early 1960's and served as a bush plane into the late 1970's. Dick bought it right after restoration in 1992. The logs show the original colors were blue and yellow.

1941 BC12 D

Larry Tiller 

Gadsden, AL.

I have owned Ernie's T-craft (N95901) for over a year now and been planning to join but a lot of personal problems & a little bit of work gets in the way. I have finally cleared enough land to create my own landing strip here, near Gadsden, AL. Not real smooth but the T-craft takes it in stride. And as soon as I get sides on my hanger I will move my project ('41 N33943) into it and try to finish.

This is the only know Swift to have served under contract with the U.S. Army.  Total time is under 1500 and it cruises at 140 mph. When Ray isn’t shining this beauty he is busy rebuilding two Taylorcraft projects. A 1946 BC-12-D is underway and he will start his 1943 L-2b project in the near future.
