I recall another commercial for this toy. I also have it sitting here in front of me. Cool toy. I wish the commercials for Crusader 101 and Candy Fashion doll, both by Deluxe Reading, could be found.
I don't remember that one. Maybe it was sold a grocery store we didn't go to. It almost sounded to me like they couldn't get the rights to "Off We Go Into The Wild Blue Yonder."
Gee whiz, was there ever such a great influence on toys than the Cold War? "Aim the sight. Fire one! Hit the bridge - it's really fun!" War is fun, I don't care what anybody says!!! :-)
We had one. The toy is really not very interesting. Those lever controls don't really do anything. You could move the jet back and forth as they show and shoot the missiles at something I guess, but not something in the view screen. It was pretty lame.
Yup, I had one! Mid '60s. Really cool for the time.

@tvdays you have a what, Jimmy Jet? I've had mine for some time now.
I remember getting one for Christmas. I forgot all about that toy until seeing this.

Dang, I missed this one, I was born in 1961. Maybe they didn't sell these in the New York area??

One of those toys you ask for, actually get and then it turns out to be yep a dud, should have asked for candy instead. LOL
