Name this aircraft pls

Thanks for the info, Dan.
Very interesting.

T-35

The Buckaroo would have been in competition around the same time frame as the Beech Model 45 (T-34) and the Fairchild XNQ. So, yes… good guess on it looking like a 34. I’ll get my book out at home and find out the construction number total. As was stated before only a few were built. I have pictures of several that were supplied to the Saudi’s and armed with .30 cal. Guns and rocket rails!! They had 145hp Continental engine but most of the ones flying today have the bigger 210hp Continental. When we had the 50th Anniversary Fly-In here in Texas we had 4 T-35’s show up. Will dig those pictures out too.

Globe had been a contractor for Beech building AT-10’s during the war so after the war they jumped into building their Swift. When Globe started having finacial trouble they were bought by Temco. Temco went on to build Swifts, Fairchild 24s, and a few others. Globe was based in Fort Worth, Texas and Temco in Dallas. (Temco = Texas Engineering Manufacturing Company)

One of my first aviation jobs was helping work on a Swift. Neat machines! The Swift owners sure like their polished airplanes. Thats also where I learned how to polish and vowed to NEVER own a polished airplane… well… broke that vow!

Okay, serious time now, are these like a tail-wheeled version of a T-34 Mentor ?
I don’t know a lot about them.

My pleasure. LOL! 😀 :diablo: 😀 :diablo: 😉

I’d call it a Mirror M-1 😀

I seem to remember that Saudi Arabia also bought a handfull of Buckaroo’s. Saw this machine at Sun N’ Fun last April -it’s stunning .

It’s obviously very well loved and looked after by it’s owner – so much so that I found this from Nuvite polish advertising !!!

The small pic I posted here doesn’t do the shiny look justice.
Truly beautiful

Thanks so much guys,

A Temco T-35 Buckaroo, based on the Temco(Globe) Swift, ordered in small numbers by the USAF I think. Temco took over Globe in 1947.
All courtesey of ‘Aircraft of the world 1953’.

Sorry, and the one in front is the original Swift, and it does not have a gull wing, it has a rather high dihedral IIRC

The one in the rear is a Globe/Temco Swift, the one in the front a Temco Buckaroo (a proposed primary trainer built in only a few examples).

A Swift Temco, I think it is called
