(...) Yay! Skyhawk! This is one of the all-time great Joe vehicles. Small enough to be very whooshable, yet big enough to carry at least 3 figures (if you put a couple guys on the skids) It had guns, it had missiles, it had swiveling engines. It was (...)

(...) That is AWESOME! If I could have thought of this when I was growing up I would have begged my mom for Lego instead of the actual GI Joe toys. Great work in every aspect of the MOC. Take care. (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Instead of spamming the boards with responses due to my ingrained laziness, perhaps I'll just collect them here... GA: totally...it was the perfect 'car trip' vehicle. a little tip o' the combat helmet to the skid pile-on feature of the original..a (...)
