I like how they hold their feet in flight. Quite a vocal bird. These birds breed in Asia and migrate to Australia during the northern winter. The birds moult while in Australia - as can be seen on this bird.

Supermarine Swift F.4 WK198 fuselage in March 2017 at Brooklands. On 26th September 1953, flown by Vickers-Supermarine test pilot Mike Lithgow, this aircraft made a record breaking flight, raising the world absolute speed record to 737.7 mph in Libya.
The Swift is seen here in outside storage prior to being moved into the new Aircraft Factory exhibition inside the Museum's grade II listed “Bellman” hangar. The Brooklands Bellman hanger is the only remaining example of four originally built on the site and was constructed in 1940. During WWII it was used for final assembly of Wellingtons and Warwick’s.
In 2015 the Museum received a £4.6 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund for improvements. The project included moving the Bellman Hangar off the Finishing Straight and restoring it nearby.
1960s Swift price list. What surprised me is that the Swift Vulcan was actually dearer than the Audubon. Now I have them both, the Vulcan is a nice binocular but just one look at the build quality of both tells me that that no way could the Vulcan have been more expensive to make than the Audubon surely?

The Alpine Swift is superficially similar to a large Barn Swallow or House Martin. It is, however, completely unrelated to those passerine species, since swifts are in the order Apodiformes. The resemblances between the groups are due to convergent evolution, reflecting similar life styles.
Swifts have very short legs which they use only for clinging to vertical surfaces. Alpine Swifts breed in mountains from southern Europe to the Himalaya. Like Common Swifts, they are strongly migratory, and winter much further south in southern Africa. They wander widely on migration, and are regularly seen in much of southern Europe and Asia.
Alpine Swifts build their nests in colonies in a suitable cliff hole or cave, laying 2-3 eggs. A swift will return to the same site year after year, rebuilding its nest when necessary. These birds pair for life.
Young swifts in the nest can drop their body temperature and become torpid if bad weather prevents their parents from catching insects nearby.
Alpine Swifts spend most of their lives in the air, living on the insects they catch in their beaks. They drink on the wing, but roost on vertical cliffs or walls.
Alpine Swifts are readily distinguished from the Common Swifts by their larger size and their white belly and throat. Their wingspan is 55 cm compared to the 42 cm of Common Swifts. A dark neck band separates the white throat from the white belly. They have a short forked tail and very long swept-back wings that resemble a crescent or a boomerang but may (as in the image) be held stretched straight out. The flight is slower and more powerful than that of their smaller relative.

I caught this shot LITERALLY within a minute of parking at the airport! Formerly with USAir (N448US), this Swift Aur 737 is landing on Runway 30L at SJC to pick up the Colorado Avalanche...who got their asses kicked by the San Jose SHARKS!

This isn't a swift in fact, it's a Swallow, but they're still swift in flight :)
They were also very difficult to photograph - this one is cropped to half the frame and was about the best one I managed to capture - it's still no where near sharp enough, but I like it.
For the first time I see the new generation of the Suzuki Swift parked on the street. Seen in Be'er Sheva.
