Panoramic view of the multi-seat cockpit of the Globe Swift GC-1A. 

Produced from 1946 to 1951, the Globe Swift is a sporty general aviation design whose beauty and superior flying characteristics have made it a favorite classic. Ludlow "Pete" King bought this Swift in 1975 and restored it to near-original condition. It retains most of its Alclad skin, early production magnesium engine cooling grills, fabric-covered ailerons, and a Beech-Roby variable-pitch wooden propeller.
