Yes, I'm asking for help finding a toy. Its driving me nuts lately.
As a kid, I had a Fisher Price airplane. It was blue over white. It was a twin engined prop plane. It looked an awful lot like a Cessna 310.
Behind the cockpit, there was a a black lever that would raise and lower the landing gear. Underneath the fuselage, there was a pistol grip, that when you squeezed it the props spun. This is a toy from around 1979-84 as best I can remember.
E-bay and Google are no help.

When I was a kid, SSPs were my favorite. Last week I bought my three year old a mini SSP, new in the box, from eBay for $14. They're still fun.
I forgot about SSP's. I was a bit old for them when they came out and was a bit perturbed that they weren't available when I was a little kid.

I had a whole MESS of those as a kid. LOVED them. Played so hard with em after a while they just stayed crashed.

Yeah, I had that set, and a few other SSPs.

I had a van that would flip over, I wonder if that was part of that line.
I think you guys helped me find an old Tonka truck I had as a kid too. Had to get it for my son(Jeep honcho race truck). He loves it too.
Jetfire was one of my absolute favorites growing up:
I was also crazy about the GI Joe Skystriker F-14:

I was the guy that answered that. I was hoping the toy-karma would come back around. It did.
Unfortunately, the Canadian in Wally's link wants something like $40 to ship. I'll keep hunting. though.
thanks, Scott, you just made me kill my lunch finding this:
and judging by the website i shamelessly hotlinked these from, he might already be a member here: http://gremlindog.com/tag/rolling-thunder/
there were many a battle between my GI Joe collection and the Dino-Riders:

You WERE the guy that found that for me. And I am forever grateful. Now to buy one for the mini-me....
