Mandatory kit for the 70s Navy brat

[Scott Rose]

Alright, who had one of these as a kid? As a navy brat in the 70s this was mandatory kit.

Wanted it, never got it.

[Dan Jones]

I had it. Spent hours playing with that thing in the basement!

[Jesse C.]

Oh yeah, this was on my wish list, but alas, it never came.

I remember those! Unfortunately never got one. I was probably too busy with my Evil Knievel Stunt Cycle to fly Corsairs off a carrier deck.

Had one of those too!

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.

Awww!
And somebody take that sailor below and give him a regulation haircut!

[Matt Gunsch]

I had both of those, as well the Skycycle, and van,

Looks neat

Being an Air Force kid, I never got the carrier, but my driveway is about the length of a typical SAC runway...in 1/72nd scale.

Love the Remco Whirlybird, never had one though.
I do have several 60s toy helicopters though...including 2 nice plastic H-19s.

Had the Marx ( I think) battery operated “Mighty Matilda” Carrier with working catapults.... wish I still had it....!

Still have the scars on my knuckles turning that darn thing...
