The B4 SWIFT makes a perfect VFR Flight Bag with room for one or two
headsets, an iPad, a handheld radio, and organization for all the little
tech accessories. Remove the 4-inch Center Section and end up with the B0 SLIM. Two different bags for the price of one.
Description:
The B4 SWIFT is often recommended as the ideal VFR flight bag. It's
designed to hold one or two full-sized headsets plus a handful of
charts, and/or an iPad, plus all the small stuff you'll want along for
the ride. It also serves as an unbeatable carry-on personal bag when
traveling on commercial flights, or just as a terrific daily bag for a
wide variety of personal and professional uses. (For example, you could
add a Drone Foam or the Camera Divider Kit.)
The B4 SWIFT come with two side pockets: The SIDE POCKET ECHO, which is a
totally unique insulated adjustable water bottle pocket, and a SIDE
POCKET FOXTROT, which is our large fully zipper-enclosed pocket that can
hold almost anything, including a large "brick" handheld radio.
The B4 SWIFT includes a MAIN HANDLE, and a SHOULDER STRAP.
The B4 SWIFT does NOT include a SLIM HANDLE KIT. If you ever think you'd
like to remove the CS4 and zip just the two End Caps together to make
the B0 SLIM, you'll need to make sure you also order an SLIM HANDLE KIT.
The CS4 provides, that's right, four inches of storage depth, but keep in
mind that there is also two thin flat storage areas BETWEEN the three
modules. (Remember, it is a soft bag so it can expand slightly in every
direction.) Keep in mind also that you can add any other Center Section
to the B4 (like zip a CS2 in between the CS4 and the FCR) to add more
storage on certain days. Any FLEX System module can zip onto any other
FLEX System module.
The Main Compartment of the CS4 has locking zipper sliders.
This configuration will very commonly be used to carry two full-sized
aviation headsets of any brand. (There is a nice, slightly-tricky way
place two large headsets - like the BOSE A20 - inside this space. Just
"intertwine" the ear cups in opposite directions. It's really nice to
fit two headsets of any kind in such a relatively small space.)
There is a specially-designed pocket on top of the CS4 to hold Sunglasses and their case.
A small collection of charts or flight docs can go in the space between
the CS4 and either of the End Caps. A 13" Ultrabook or MacBook Pro can
also fit into this "in between" space, and the iPad (or other tablet)
can go in the main pocket on the FLAT CAP REAR
The B4 SWIFT also works amazingly well as a daily personal bag and/or as a commercial
carry-on bag. A 13" laptop plus a load of documentation plus an iPad,
plus all the small stuff like cables, adapters and support stuff for all
your technology, your digital camera, snacks, etc - all of this fits
easily in this bag. Even your noise-reduction headset for those long
flights.
The other great thing about this bag is that it is
actually TWO bags for the price of one. Not only is it a B4 SWIFT, but
you can also build a B0 SLIM by removing the center section and zipping
just the two End Cap modules together. (If you ever think you'd like to
remove the CS4 and zip just the two End Caps together to make the B0
SLIM, you'll need to make sure you also order an SLIM HANDLE KIT.)
