This Remco Sky Diver jet looks mega cool and pretty darn big too, but I could be wrong on that. I'd love to see it in action. I'm assuming that the parachutist is ejected from the plane. This toy wouldn't look too bad in a SWORD fleet would it? Anyone got one readers? [picture: www.gijoeinformation.com ]
Very cool!
ReplyDeleteI had one back in the day. The pilot and parachute packed into an ejector seat, which went onto a spring loaded catapult. You pulled the lever forward to flip the canopy open, and then backwards to eject the pilot. Went twenty feet or so up you had to keep your face out of the way! One of my favorite toys ever.

ReplyDeleteNice to hear from ya Glenn. It sure does look like a fantastic toy. I never saw one here in the UK but Remco toys were very popular. I'd have loved to see the pilot flying down twenty feet! Cheers, Woodsy
DeleteYes I have one complete with every thing including the box, nothing missing.
