    Anybody ever see this?

    OK so this has bugged me for a while maybe one of you guys know about it.

    In the late 60s early 70 there was this airport play set. It had a big fold out cardboard runway. A plastic yellow control tower that opened up so you could play these small records of air traffic control sounds. This hooked up to a pilots headset.

    It came with several 747s, a Leer jet, a helicopter/landing pad and a red hanger.

    I thought it was a Marxx set but have been unable to google any info at all.
    Lo there do I see my Father.
    Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
    Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
    Lo they do call me.
    They bid me take my place among them.
    In the halls of Valhalla where the brave may live forever.

      I like trying to figure out what old toys are, but have been unable to figure this one out. The fold out runway seemed to strike a bell with me because I think that might have been a feature on an old Fisher-price runway? were the records like "real" black vinyl records? or like the plastic multi-colored records Fisher-Price made?

          Naw these were real micro records about 5"in diameter if I remember. The base was that real thick almost wood type cardboard.

          All the aircraft were molded in white but had different airline stickers you had to apply.

          I got this as a kid one X mas and for the life of me never seen one like it again. Ive seen some Marxx sets similar but not quite.

          Every so often when I'm in a knowlegable toy forum I ask around. Maybe one day I'll get lucky.

              Sounds like the "Voice Controlled Kennedy Airport" by Remco... Check out this blog, it has a link to the original commercial. Bedazzled!: Remco Voice Control Kennedy Airport (Repost)

                  After looking in some of my old Christmas catalogs it sounds like a Matchbox Airport that was a JC Penny exclusive. Did it fold up into a carrying case?

                      Was the JC Penny version different than other cased Matchbox Airport and Matchbox city from the early 70's? I don't recall ever seeing a version that had a pilot's headset with it and sound?
                      It's all good!
