Rocket in AV8 E-Magazine
I just got word that the UK-based e-mag, AV8 has an article on my
Johnson Rocket. See: http://www.av8magazine.com/ You have to register, but that is free. The E-mag offers a slightly different view of GA flying. |

I didn't remember that one but I did remember the Globe Swift. There was another small plane that came out about the same time named the Culver Cadet. I learned to fly in a J3 Cub. Sam in Milam |

There was another small plane that came out about the same time named the Culver Cadet. I learned to fly in a J3 Cub. Sam in Milam Pop Johnson made the original GC-1 wooden Swift. When he lost control of the program, he took the wood Swift home, changed it out to an O-290, changed the tail and called it the "Rocket 125." That plane still exists and resides at the Swift Museum, in Athens, TN. Its performance wasn't that good, so they designed a new one around the O-435 Lycoming, and with a nose gear and called it the "Rocket 185." It was the hot setup in 1946. |
