"Not A Flying Toy"Remember when adverts on the telly were all 58 seconds long?A young Kurt Russell, & the voice of William Cannon.Dig the car wash at the end. Certainly wouldn't have amused me, even at a very young age.
Well, REMCO, too bad B-52s don't and never did have ball turrets. Or machine guns. Want to get the real feel for the ball turret boys and girls. Put it in a freezer and be in it for a couple hours before you can start shooting at the imaginary bad guys. And the bad guys get to shoot back. When I was a kid in the target demographic for this toy a neighbor had been a real top turret gunner in B-24s in Europe and he really did get shot down and the little he could talk about 15 years later really showed me was not something to toy with.
