THE TRICYCLE GEAR SWIFT...

From the February 2008 GTS News

OH MY GOODNESS... THE LEGEND IS TRUE!

Yep... Somebody really did make a tricycle gear Swift. VA Swifter Steve Roth 
had the honor of sending this to me via email and writes...
"My friend in the UK sent me the attached photo.  I have seen other photos but this 
has quite a bit of detail.  I think this Swift has been restored back to tailwheel."

Steve's "friend in the UK" is Nigel Hitchman. Nigel wrote...
"Most horrible looking Swift ever! Not sure if I've sent you this one before.
Taken at Wonderboom, Pretoria South Africa in 1993."

Wow... I truly hope the airplane was indeed returned to original configuration.
Then again, you'd have to think the insurance rates might be lower?
