This is knock off made for GI Joe and Big Jim by Empire. As they are slightly different scales it is a bit small for GI Joe and bit large for Big Jim but it works. Not much was made as for as vehicles go for the GI Joe Action Pilot although there was a Crash Crew fire truck. Also there was the space capsule although that is not exactly air force.
Sadly this is missing the accessories that came with it but as I have never seen one before I can live with that. Hopefully I can figure out how to add a machine gun to it for patrolling the airfield.
In the meantime the pilot is being driven to his F-86. His parachute is in the trailer.
Now, that is too cool!! I would've loved to find this under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning as a kid!!! I did have the GI Joe Jeep, wooden footlocker and accessories with my 1970 GI Joe. My 1970 GI Joe had blonde hair and a beard. Wish I still had all of that:(
Such nice condition for being over 40 years old the decals nice and crisp, love the winch.
Thank you very much Scott. It would have been great to see Santa had bought it. I kind of went overboard restoring my GI Joe collection.
Thank you very much roddyq. Plus the decals are on right side up which is not always the case.
Thank you

I never knew this about the decals thanks for sharing this fortapache.
Yes roddyq I have a couple with upside down decals and have seen others where they have been badly applied.
Thank you very much Glassgaga. Sadly I don't get much chance to play with them. I am still planning on getting a bunch of the vehicles outside for a photoshoot.
Thank you
