 My 3 Yr Old Son's Absolute Favorite Toy!!!Jun 22, 2011
By My $.03
With two little ones we've bought a lot of toys, but out of all of them, this is probably one of the very best toy purchases we've made. The plane is solidly built and about 10 inches long. My son loves running around the house flying his jet, has taken it to multiple "show and tells" at school and often tries to take it to bed. (Not a good idea because it's not exactly soft)
Part of his fascination is probably because right before bed, after we've read stories and turned off the lights and tucked him under the covers, we'll often play a single YouTube video for him on either our iPad or iPhone. The video? -> The Blue Angels. If you search for "Blue Angels" on You Tube, it's the first video that comes up and it's amazing. Show that video to your kids and then give them this toy and you'll be a rock star.
I've actually bought a couple of these because if dropped multiple times onto a hard floor, the tail fins can break off. It didn't happen for 6 months or so, and the toy was well played with by that time, but given how much he enjoyed this toy over others that cost significantly more, it was an easy decision to buy a replacement.

Good, durable toy for younger and older kidsJun 14, 2010
By S. J. Stelk
This is the first toy of this type we have purchased that has lasted more than a few days with my six-year-old. The majority of the plane is metal and so far seems quite durable.

Great while it lasted...Jul 29, 2011
By HeatherRN
"hebh"
This was bought for our four old for Christmas 2010 as a stocking-stuffer. He was pretty happy to see it as he vividly remembers seeing the Blue Angels perform over San Francisco Bay during 2009 and 2010's Fleet Week. He immediately began showing me some of their more advanced aerial maneuvers and I must admit that I was sad that I didn't get one too... I'd totally be his wing man! Every time that I see the iconic paint job of the Blue Angels it takes me back to watching them perform in the Summer of 1987 while listing to VH's song Dreams blasted at 10 on my yellow Sony Walkman... goosebump stuff right there. Anyway, like most four year old boys, he is pretty hard on his toys and leaves them out all over the place. One night while walking down the hall to go to bed, I stepped square on it and two things happened. The first thing is that the front landing gear broke off (not necessarily unexpected since I do outweigh it by a few pounds!) The second thing that happened was that I was immediately overcome with the most incredible pain I have experienced in the past five years or so. Everything on the top of the plane is die cast metal and there are no lack of pointy wings, missles, etc which will seriously put a major hurting on whoever is unfortunate enough to step on it. As a side note, although it didn't survive my foot, it did survive a throw across the room by our two year old that ricocheted off of my head (also hurt a lot, but not as much as stepping on it.)
Pros: Price, well made, Iconic... the Blue Angels!
Cons: May break when stepped on. Hurts when stepped on or when it hits you in the head.

Pleasantly surprisedFeb 04, 2011
By Koy BB
I bought this for my 4 year old son. He loves jets and airplanes and this one is no exception. It's made of sturdy die-cast metal and plastic undercarriage. Paint job is good but not great. The pull-back mechanism is terrific and as it runs down the hallway, it seems the jet might take-off. With the low price and free shipping, this is a great deal.
My 5 yr old boy loves it!Jan 15, 2012
By Joe Anderson
Our 5 yr old son wanted a jet and this one looked good online. It arrived quickly after ordering and our son loves it. Will consider ordering others as well.
