Swearingen Merlin
The Merlin is Swearingen's family of low-wing business twin turboprops, which shares its data sheet and slim fuselage design with the Metro line; the first, the SA26-T, was approved by the FAA in 1966. The SA226-T Merlin III, approved in 1970, and its successor the SA226-T(B) file under the ICAO code SW3, as does the later SA227-TT, sold as the Fairchild 300. The longer Merlin IV shares the Metro's code, SW4. As a private aircraft it shows specs and photos only, with no flight data.
