Question

The aircraft carrier came in two parts and had a foam base. you had to stretch the fishing line out to the other side of the room. There was a spring launcher that sent the jet up the line, and a special little hook on top of the jet that enabled it to turn around. You sat behind the carrier with a joy stick and used it to manouever the jet back safely to land on the carrier? Thanks!

Answer 1

doll?

Answer 2

I could barely remember having this toy, can't think of its name, maybe from Mattel & I think mine's a F4U Corsair.

Answer 3

That was one of the "You Fly It" toys of the mid 70's, Second generation, I believe.  I had the first generation version, only 1 year older, and it did not launch and turn, it started at a holder for the tail, at the top of the line, and was launched by pulling back on the stick to release the plane.

Answer 4

...and there is one brand new in the box on EBay right now with no bids at $40.00    There was also a toy that came out before it that was called "U FLY IT" that had a Cessna looking airplane and a small runway that you rolled out and a little console with a yoke that you push pulled and left/right to land the airplane on the runway. It is harder to find these days.

Answer 5

Mattel's Flying Aces. They also had a similar Battlestar Galactica and also had different airplanes for the carrier. It originally came with a grey and blue Corsair.

Answer 6

body guard or something
