The Buckaroo was developed from the Globe GC-1B Swift as a basic military trainer and was evaluated by the USAF as the YT-35. The US military purchased 10 examples as the T-35A and these were supplied to the Saudi Arabian Air Force as primary trainers. The design lost out to a USAF order for trainers to the Beech T-34 Mentor. A few remain airworthy in the United States.
