Air Hogs Plane

I just had a huge blast from the past. Did anyone else have one of these Air Hogs planes? I had totally forgotten about it until some air-powered engine thing popped up in my YouTube feed. 

That's all. 

The name is familiar to me.  Maybe ten years ago, we had a couple of inexpensive foam RC planes in the house.  The one I can recall had two little motors, and was steerable by cutting one engine or the other.

Also have a super-cool little helicopter, but that's not Air Hogs.

Something like this one:

Looks like something I would have circled in the JC Penny's Toy Catalog in 1993.  You know, for Santa to bring. 

We had water rockets. Similar concept: pump, pump, pump and then comb the neighbors’ yards looking for the thing. 

In reply to David S. Wallens :

YES!!! The corner store up the street from my cousin's house right on the beach used to have a spinning rack of these in the front. I remember going there to buy rocket after rocket after we lost them. 

I missed out on Air Hogs, but I had this guy. I can't tell you how many times I got this stuck in the maple tree in my backyard as a kid. 

I still have mine, exactly the same as pictured in the OP. I gave it heavy use between the ages of 10-13, theres a lot of hot glue holding it together and it doesn't fly well anymore...

We once tried to send one down the neighbor’s inground pool like a torpedo. Launching it beneath the surface of the water didn’t do anything. (Hey, we were young.)

So our neighbor launched it across the surface, with me standing at the other end of the pool.

Incoming!!

I had one as a kid and loved it.

As is right and proper, I one day launched into the air far too close to an unoccupied building. It landed on the roof that no one had access to and, as far as I know, it's still up there today. 

We had water rockets when I was a kid. My grandfather would have to go up on the roof almost daily to get them.

Their 2 channel RC planes rocked. So very easy and fun to fly.
