The Swift Museum Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of the Globe/Temco Swift aircraft. Located at the McMinn County Airport in Athens, Tennessee, the foundation actively restores and maintains these vintage planes, collects and archives historical documentation, and engages in educational outreach to inspire future aviators. They are a central hub for Swift enthusiasts, offering resources for restoration, historical research, and fostering a community around this unique post-World War II general aviation aircraft. The foundation also manages the original factory tooling and parts inventory, enabling the continued production of FAA PMA parts to keep Swifts flying.
