Rich white people…

I like it!

That thumbnail plane looks like fighter jet and a Cessna had a baby but they were brother and sister

Imperial units. Stopped watching. I can easily calculate it on the go, I just boycott it.

It's a beauty, no doubt, but for modern efficiency I'll take the Shark.

Why does this video make such extensive use of heavily AI filtered video? Even some of the still images are AI nonsense.

I saw a leopard at Bournemouth Aviation Museum it's tiny but must be a delight to fly

This is an amazing little plane.... An aviation enthusiast dream...

I just fell in love I wish I can have one

Those engines sound like the GO-480.

Why do the rotors rotate in the same direction? Wouldn't the opposite direction prevent the pilot from having to set permanent trim levels when flying? My pilot friend says it would be too expensive but I don't see why and how that would be the case?

Love your channel! Subbed!

Runway performance on the MdDonnell jet....not sure about your 2000' landing statement. I'd bet money its more like 6000'.

Used to be a lineman for Florida Aeromotive at LNA. Had one of these along with Beech 18’s and DC-3s. Checking the oil on the third engine was a bit of a climb but very cool airplane.

i may lvoe her but she done love me back

Yeah those are so cool. I wish piper made a 6 seater 😝

The second you told the story of how Johnson took measurements of a Cadet and then built his improved version called the Swift I was intrigued. Did the designer of the Cadet (Mooney) receive any compensation or credit for his role? A Wikipedia article on the Swift claims the story of Johnson using the Cadet as a template was fanciful yet the very same article contradicts itself and cited the Cadet as the predecessor to the Swift. I then got into a debate with an AI bot that provided even more contradictory information which I would point out, receive acknowledgement that I was correct and offer an apology, and then continue with bogus info. The bot twice stated the Cadet did not have retractable landing gear and cited that as one piece of evidence that the Swift was a unique design attributable to Johnson only. Your own video showed the Cadet with retractable gear and a Wikipedia article also stated that it did. The bot never acknowledged the issue with the landing gear, twice insisting that information available to it on the web stated the Cadet had fixed gear and even got the timeline wrong on the Swift's development which it did acknowledged was incorrect after I pointed it out. Anyway in my opinion the Swift is clearly a derivative of the Cadet based on it's appearance alone and even though I have no idea if the designer of the Cadet ever had any issues with that or if he ever was compensated I wouldn't be surprised if that were true!

Well the 990s engines were based of the J79. Anyone who has seen a F4 Phantom taking off or in flight. I can see why the 990s engines smoked like a coal locomotive.

Want one real bad!!!

i learned to fly in a swift with the continental 210.good times.

Quite a bit of footage from the video I produced for Goodyear Aviation about “Bud’s Swift” though I see no mention of it anywhere. Please provide a link to the video so people can see his story.

Saab Viggen.

“Think you know all about private jets?” No. “Think again” Wait, I do?!

Power up 😊

My Dad had the 1948 model with an updated 125hp engine. That was back in the 50’s. He loved that plane and so do I.

Speed isn't everything. Get in an airliner an look out the window. Do you get that feeling of speed? If that is what you want, get a motorcycle. That way, when you get killed, you don't have to take responsibility since it will probably be due to some mom pulling out of the grocery store parking lot and didn't "see" you.

I like your videos

Good pilot! He's doing these stunts for show!

Best bike known to Man!

2:31 "Do you want this squat, dumpy 220 holding its engines like grocery bags? Or this French beauty the Falcon 20?" (wolf whistle)

Wonder if you could slap a fuel injected super charged big block in one? Bet it would fly nice with a 750 HP LS. Only thing better would be a turbo prop.

Vshred is a sham!

I was an Army Air Traffic Controller in the Mekong Delta of South Vietnam back in 1968 Air America used a number of Couriers in its fleet of aircraft.I recall clearing a Courier for takeoff one afternoon as it climbed out I saw the tail wheel fall off the bird and bounce down our PSP runway,i Told the pilot that he no longer had a tail wheel he said no problem,and flew it up to Saigon and landed in the grass next to the runway ,that bird was back flying again a couple of days later,that was a testament to the rugged design of the Courier!!

Nevermind all those airliners with 45° bank angle and fighter jets. This is literally the most dangerous aerobatics display I've ever seen😂

equivalent to an F1 driver driving a stock mazda miata

We'll get to that in a moment....or watch something else.

I was an Army Air Traffic Controller in the Mekong Delta back in 1968 these old Caribou's kept us supplyed every day with 15 to 20 flights by the ASAF what a work horse it was.I even got a ride in one from Saigon to Can Tho sure was a loud ride but I enjoyed it all the same!

2:27 i literally got an add for a ww2 mobile game right here that started with an animated bit of Pearl Harbor this was way to perfect 😂😂

I thought the first Business Jet was the Morane-Saulnier MS.760 Paris. It first flew in 1954, while the 119 first flew in 1959. Sure, it wasn't successful as a Business Jet, but neither was the 119.

Always wanted a Swift. But I had a Cessna 140 and two Luscombes.

02:05 The IAI Arava was very much used by the Israeli air force, from the early 70's to 2004! I remember seeing them flying around, in army colors.

I recall hearing Swift in passing, I didn't realize what a great plane it is. I kept expecting to hear the Mooney Mite being intertwined in Swift's history. Nice presentation of the plane. thanks

Local Neuro Surgeon flew converted twin turbo prop til his 84th , when Happy Hunting Grounds called. Claimed it was lest cost 300 mph cruise.

Watch what this crazy camera person tries to pass off as acceptable footage 🤦‍♂️

The fighter it most looked like was the Spitfire. It was used in a couple of movies as one. I worked for Drown Aviation in the early 70's and we painted one like a Spit.. I thought it was the coolest plane ever.

People are still building these today the plans are still available.

I flew in a Helio Courier several times, piloted by JAARS, in the Amazon during 1977 and 1978 while serving in the jungle with LOGOS:: Translators. It is truly an amazing airplane. This was after serving in the USN on an aircraft carrier servicing jet aircraft. The Courier was more fun!

Camaraman: *doing the bare minimum to ensure survival*

Very good STOL plane

the rear landing gear retracting reminds me a bit of the cessna 172rg's rear landing gear
