  • Swick Tcraft in Louisville,Ky?????

    I met a guy at the annual Mt.Sterling,ky.fly-in breakfast&airshow last august that was flying a beautiful Experimental Swick t-craft and I was wondering if anyone on the list may know of him and/or how to contact him?I do not remember his name or N-number,just that he was from the Louisville,Kentucky area.
    Thanks

        The fellow's name is Mike (I forget his last name) He is a pilot for the AirForce and flys tankers I think. He did a great job with that plane. It has an 0-320 and weighs around 975 empty which is fairly light for a Lycoming powered clipwing. I have an old IAC magazine that did a construction article on him. It is basically a Swick with a few modifications.

        Flying is easy- to go up you pull back, to go down you pull back a little farther.

          Kevin,

          Did it have checkerboards on the bottom and what appears to be a large bullseye on the top of the plane? The plane I am thinking about is done in read and white.
