broke it twice building it, i was 7, 3rd time, and last one at store, Dad asked if i wanted him to help (by the way i broke same piece twice during build) so i was determined but it broke fairly quick anyway. loved it though and never saw or cared about the huge one thats 7.5 ft. i lived in small farming blue collar town 40 miles south Chicago, in 8 years it was much smaller

Had one of those also. One of my favorite toys.

I had that set pictured with the two F-4u Corsairs, I remember it being pretty awesome and the planes launched pretty far.

Flying Aces rocked! You could bend the wings slightly and make them perform maneuvers. I had the hand launcher that launched 3 at once (or individually if you squeezed the trigger slowly).

DAMN!

THAT's what they were called! I never had the carrier, but had a F-4u Corsair and the bicentenial Thunderbirds T-38

You've now revealed the names three forgotten toys of my past: Fighting Furies, MAC and these.

Thanks.
