Anyone remember these?
Apparently they still make them, but the planes have changed. I tried Google and couldn't find any information on them. I'm looking for the one that I thought was a P-38 Lightning. It had dual fuselage and two propellers, instead of the normal one propeller.
Anyone remember it? I also can't find any information on the company itself so I could just ask them.

Yeah, I had a lot of the P38s. It's my favorite aircraft of all time.

This one was badass too:
I hated how fragile the props were though. They'd always throw one of the blades, and then it wouldn't spin anymore.

Those are pretty close, thanks. Not the one I was looking for, but I'll check 'em out.

You sure? I'm pretty sure those came in the packages like the ones you have above. In fact, I'm ALMOST positive.

They didn't come with any launcher or anything, and they were a little smaller.

These are the little styrofoam planes right? I'm 99% sure they still sell them over here in the UK, haven't bought one for a few years though

I'm pretty sure the launcher aspect is a new feature. But that P38 and B17 were EXACTLY what I had as a kid, only minus the launcher aspect.
