What's the name of the toy from 70's ? You had a aircraft carrier that launched a jet on a line then landedit?

The aircraft carrier came in two parts and had a foam base. you had to stretch the fishing line out to the other side of the room. There was a spring launcher that sent the jet up the line, and a special little hook on top of the jet that enabled it to turn around. You sat behind the carrier with a joy stick and used it to manouever the jet back safely to land on the carrier? Thanks!

    Mattel's Flying Aces. They also had a similar Battlestar Galactica and also had different airplanes for the carrier. It originally came with a grey and blue Corsair.

    China does not attack other countries willy-nilly because on one side they have Russia which still holds land it took from China during WWII, most of their other neighbors are their puppets except for Tibet and Taiwan. China one weakness was the lack in ability to move troops by sea, while it has warships it was/is lacking long range amphibious abilities. Aircraft Carriers do give China non-nuclear long range strike ability and shows it's desire to expand it's military capability.

    That was one of the "You Fly It" toys of the mid 70's, Second generation, I believe. I had the first generation version, only 1 year older, and it did not launch and turn, it started at a holder for the tail, at the top of the line, and was launched by pulling back on the stick to release the plane.

    Source(s): My source is my memory from the time.

    ...and there is one brand new in the box on EBay right now with no bids at $40.00 There was also a toy that came out before it that was called "U FLY IT" that had a Cessna looking airplane and a small runway that you rolled out and a little console with a yoke that you push pulled and left/right to land the airplane on the runway. It is harder to find these days.
