This raffle is held each year to raise money to make sure we can continue to do that for years to come. The museum is proud to present Swift’s from the start in 1946, the modified and fully restored Swifts of today, and even the last Swift ever made when production stopped in 1951.

     Swift owners have enjoyed the ability to restore & modify their planes because The Swift Museum Foundation does such a great job procuring, making & preserving the parts needs to maintain them.

     There is even a Swift hanging in the Smithsonian for national viewing, but only at the Swift Museum in Athens, Tennessee can you stand next to these historic aircraft & gaze into the cockpit, and you can even sit in the one we have set up for our guests to get the full experience!

     The museum takes you for a walk through the history of The Swift, come see for yourself why these planes are so special to so many...
