The BrightLine B4 Swift — Echo (B4-01E) is a compact, modular VFR flight bag built on the FLEX System. Holds 1–2 headsets, an iPad, handheld radio, and features the insulated SPE water pocket plus J-Hook Main Handle for suitcase compatibility.
Key Features & Benefits
Modular FLEX System: Configure as B4 Swift or remove CS4 to create a B0 Slim (Slim Handle Kit required).
Headset capacity: Room for one or two full-size aviation headsets (BOSE A20, Lightspeed, etc.).
Side pockets: Includes Side Pocket Echo (SPE) insulated bottle pocket and Side Pocket Foxtrot (SPF) large zippered pocket.
Pilot-friendly extras: Sunglasses pocket on CS4, locking zipper sliders, and J-Hook Main Handle for rolling suitcase attachment.
Carry options: Main Handle and Shoulder Strap included for comfortable transport.
Overview
Designed as the ideal VFR flight bag, the B4 Swift Echo balances compact size with practical capacity. The CS4 center section creates a dedicated space for headsets and essentials while still leaving thin "in-between" areas for charts or a 13" ultrabook. Built tough for pilots and travelers, the B4 Echo doubles as a dependable carry-on or daily professional bag.
The Echo configuration replaces the standard SPA with the larger, adjustable SPE insulated water pocket and swaps the standard handle for the J-Hook Main Handle—a change requested by airline crews for better suitcase compatibility. Material is slightly flexible; avoid over-stuffing to protect seams and warranty.

Low build quality, overpriced, boosters do not "connect"
The shuttle just kinda hangs from it FRAGILE front wheel onto the boosters,which are one piece unlike the real thing. Was hoping each booster individually snapped together and you could play out the full stages, but no.
Also the bay doors are loooooose and rattle around and open all the time, but then if the satellites swivel you cannot shut the bay doors. I expected them to have some way to stay closed when playing with this thing but no.
I ordered in a weekend and needed my purchase by a certain date. I was told when I ordered it would arrive on a specific day. And it sure did. Thanks so much for the great service.
