    Swearingen SA-28T ???

    US magazine "Air Progress" from July 1969 (pg 19) described this display model as "Seven-place delta-wing transonic business jet designed by Swearingen Aircraft Co. will operate just under Mach 1 with Garrett turbofans." I assume it's the SA-28T. Can anybody confirm this?
