Now I Lay Me Down To Rest...

 
Mississippi Swifter Steve Theim sent in this pic that is really appropriate as we begin the holiday season.
Steve's pic gets the top spot on this months GTS News and he writes...

Info on the "Now I lay me down to rest" picture.  It’s of my N78321 at KMBO in Madison, MS.  The rotating beacon you see is about to be pulled down because it’s too close to the road the city decided to widen.  The airport manager is choosing to demolish the old buildings that have been here since… who knows when.  It’s really a quite unfortunate story, this airfield.  So, I know this picture has some special meaning to me, but I also think it’s a pretty good photo of a Swift in general.

"33TC" Has A New Caretaker

Tom Yoder has handed over the caretaker chores for N33TC to Robert Gee of Tyler, TX
N33TC is a Temco built Globe Swift serial number 2106 (Originally N78106)
