Never had the carrier but in the early 60's I did have the Whirlybirds H-21 motorized rescue helicopter with the attack force. I fulfilled a childhood dream by getting the left seat on a flyer.


This?

Looks neat

I had one of those!

Also had the big white Grumman F11F Tiger by either Remco or Ideal. Man, I wish I still had that one. It might have been close to 1/24 scale and I could display it with my model cars! :wink:

Is it this one - the Remco Sky Diver?

Maybe display it on a pole over a 1/24 scale gas station or junkyard, or in a playground with kids crawling on it like so many old jets were, and demonstrate your weathering skills? :wink:
