Above: US Sport Aviation’s facility on Taxilane Sierra (at 4666 Jimmie Doolittle) seems to get a lot of interesting visitors, and August was no exception. At left is a 2014 Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam P2006T, an Italian-designed and built aircraft that is seeing growing popularity as a twin-engine trainer. At right is a very well maintained 1949 Globe GC-1B Swift. The Globe Aircraft Corporation formed in Fort Worth in 1941 from the Bennett Aircraft Corporation; Globe went bankrupt in 1947 and its assets and design rights were acquired by Dallas-based TEMCO (Texas Engineering and Manufacturing Company) which in turn merged with Ling Electric in 1961. After a hostile takeover of Chance Vought in 1961, the company became known as LTV (Ling-Temco-Vought). There are 494 Globe Swift aircraft (GC-1A and -1B) currently registered with the FAA.
