Above
left is the front page of the October 2, 1953 issue of "TEMCO
TIDINGS". The Plebe's U.S. Navy evaluation is covered
along with some praise of Cotton's work in Saudi Arabia
with the Buckaroo (right).
This is a shot of the Plebe during
a 1953 demonstration in Mexico. Cotton didn't say
if the pilot was a Temco factory demo pilot or Mexican Air
Force, but you gotta love that "flight suit".
Looks like the Plebe could pack
quite a punch.
(Assuming it could get off the ground...)
====================
Another relative of the Swift that
Cotton was involved with was the Temco TT-1 Pinto.
Above we see Cotton (far right)
and his crew as they prepared to show-off the Pinto to the
U.S. Navy
at Pax River.

====================
A few generations apart but both
Saudi Arabian.
The Saudi T-35 restored by the Swift Museum Foundation and
an F-15 of the Saudi Air Force.

PARTING
SHOT...
Yes, we're even related to the
Twin Navion...
Temco built those too.
