05/31/2008. Derived from the GC-1A Swift, Temco designed the TE-1A primary trainer as a contender for a USAF competition (eventually won by the Beech T-34). It had new designed wings fitted to the Swift fuselage and a sliding canopy covered the two in tandem placed seats. Three TE-1A’s were tested by the USAF as the YT-35 Buckaroo, s/n 50-738 to 740, and ten TE-1B T-35A Buckaroo’s were supplied in the MDAP to Saudi Arabia, USAF s/n 53-4465 to 53-4474.

The pictured aircraft is neither a GC-1 nor a T-35, this hybrid was built in 1970 by Dale Milford of Texas, using a T-35 fuselage and GC-1 wings. The aircraft is powered by an 145 hp Continental O-300-A six-cylinder horizontally-opposed air-cooled piston engine.
