JOE SKYSTRIKER & CREW I have cleaned this vehicle as best I could, the sticker placement is good. Nothing has been glued or repaired. Still a nice white/cream color. This is an original 1983 vehicle - so there is going to be playwear/scratches - but this is better than 95 percent of the Skystrikers you will see on Ebay that use flash to hide the yellowing or wear, no surprises with this baby. BOTH parachutes are missing, but everything else is included with the Skystriker, that's why she's described as "near complete". The aftermarket custom cast canopy is present with rear tab intact as well as the side clips and the front clip (RARE). The right tail fins fit snug with all tabs on each - the left one is loose for some reason - all tabs are intatc so I added some teflon tape to help, the six missiles, the two seats - the bottoms look they were glued at some point as they are shiny, and the two engines are present and fit well. Of the six missiles, the two front "stinger" missiles are often found broken - these have all the fins intact and fits well. The center fuel tank is removable but still fits back in tight. The Wing "in and out" mode works great and smoothly - every single time I have tested it, the landing gear still has all three landing clear clips that stay in place, the rear wheels have both wheel covers with all tabs intact and BOTH springs - real rare to find this, the front landing gear has the intact cover. The two engine panel covers are still very white and fit great. The nose cap is present and fits snug. Please look at the multiple pictures of every angle I have provided, in high resolution, to make your own decision on the grade of the item - good luck finding another sale where this much detail is disclosed! The Skystriker XP-14F Combat Jet is the first attack aircraft that the GiJoe team rolled out in their battle against terrorist forces and rogue states (such as Cobra, which has qualified as both in its day). This incredibly powerful (and incredibly expensive) fighter jet has these vehicular capabilities: Communications System: the Skystriker is equipped with a powerful communications system; since the plane has an ultimate range of 2,200 miles, it needs that kind of power to talk to the aircraft carriers that usually act as a base for the plane. This system works at 1,000 mile range. E-41a Port-side Vulcan 50mm Cannon: the primary weapon of the Skystriker, this 50mm cannon can cause considerable damage to aircraft. It can fire a short burst of rounds to inflict Excellent Armor Piercing Shooting damage, or a continuous stream of lead for continuous damage. E-81 Aero Vulcan Gatling Cannon: mounted on the bottom of the Skystriker, this cannon is a back-up for the aircraft's main gun. Like the primary weapon, it can fire a short burst of rounds to inflict Excellent Armor Piercing Shooting damage, or a continuous stream of lead for ultimate destruction. Electronic Counter-Measures: in addition to its threat detection radar system, the Skystriker is also armed with a powerful ECM system. This includes rear-drop flares to confuse heat-seeking missiles, chaff sprays to mislead radar systems, and more. Phoenix Missiles: these two AIM-54A long-range, air to air, radar-seeking missiles are the primary 'smart' weapons the Skystriker's pilot can use to tag other, hostile aircraft. With a maximum speed of 3,000 miles per hour (almost Mach 5!), these can strike anything in the air. Radar Unit: this pulse Doppler radar system, mounted on the Skystriker's nose cone, is a powerful threat detection system. Not only can it detect any aircraft within a 250 mile range, but it can screen out commercial aircraft and other common items to show true threats to the airplane. Sidewinder Missiles: using a solid-state infrared homing system to guide it to targets, these two air to air missiles are the Skystriker's secondary smart weapons in airborne combat. Not quite as fast, and lacking the Phoenix's range. Sparrow Missiles: these two AIM-7 air to surface, radar-guided missiles are primarily intended for use against ground-based targets, but can be wielded against airborne hostiles if necessary. Wing Sweep Function: a swing-wing fighter, the Skystriker can alter its wing configuration to go much faster. Normally, it has a cruising speed of Mach .72, or 467 m.p.h. However, it can configure its wings such that it can achieve Shift Y flight, moving at Mach 2.38 (or 1,544 m.p.h.). PILOT ACE He has tight joints, little paint wear and paint rubs, uniform cream color, New O-ring and no screw rust. Appearance: red hair; white helmet base and segmented flight suit; red pads on shirt and waist piece; dark grey wristbands,belt, boots, and stripes on legs. Accessories: Original white helmet with clear domed front, I have included a tight black pistol, an aftermarket Black Major chromed assault rifle, the figure stand pictured is included. The two 1991 IMPEL cards #8 are near mint, the more modern ENGLISH File Card is cut well and in very good condition, the 19 vintage military cards are all near mint, and all are great for display. Ace would rather fly than do anything else. During high school he worked after school and weekends to pay for flying lessons. Spent one year flying pipelines in Alaska and two years stunt flying for movies. Enlisted USAF at age 22. Duty most previous to G.I. Joe assignment: senior instructor USAF Fighter Weapons Squadron "The Aggressors" (pilot combat training school). Qualified Expert: F-5E, F-15, F-16, XP-14/F. Ace has one major character flaw: cutthroat poker. A predilection for gambling would ordinarily disqualify an applicant for the G.I. Joe team but in Armbuster's case you can hardly call it gambling since he NEVER LOSES. That's why we call him Ace! Brad was a natural born pilot. He's had a love for flying since high school, during which time he worked late into the night so he could afford flying lessons. Brad decided to do some real flying eventually, and at the tender age of 22 he enlisted in the Air Force, where he continued to excel as a pilot. In fact, he was so good at flying that he became the lead instructor at the USAF Fighter Weapons Squadron affectionately known as the 'Aggressors' (a fighter pilot training school). His service here eventually earned him a spot on the G.I. Joe team. Immediately upon hooking up with the Joes, Brad's piloting skills were put on the test, and they were repeatedly tested for years as the man served as the G.I. Joe team's only fighter jockey. He was virtually all the team's air support - when Wild Bill wasn't on the scene - and kept most of Cobra's air forces away from the team's ground pounders while they were going about the business of fighting the forces of evil. Over time, however, Brad was joined by several other fighter pilots, and he wound up flying increasingly complex missions with them as they got better acquainted. Through the years, Brad became exceptionally good friends with Slipstream and Ghost Rider, . Though the Joe team had numerous pilots over the years, all of which flew various aircraft in the fight against Cobra, Brad tended to be known as the leader of the bunch, having been around the longest and, most importantly, being the most skilled. He was active for the duration of the team's actions against Cobra, and flew missions up to the day the Joe team was disbanded in '94CO-PILOT PILOT WINDMILLHe has tight joints, some paint wear and paint rubs, New O-ring and no screw rust. Appearance: black helmet with orange crest; orange shirt with green open shirt and tubing; orange pants with black boots Accessories: black handgun and the figure stand pictured. "When the G.I. Joes are sitting on a hot LZ waiting for an extraction chopper, they want fast air support with maximum fire-suppression. The X-Wing Chopper clocks at 345 mph in its stopped-rotor mode and can carry a bigger payload than a Dragonfly. Windmill can get there faster, with more thrust, and once he's there, he can make every piece of ordnance count!" WINDMILL was a flight instructor at the Army Flight Warrant Officers School in Fort Rucker and later flew experimental helicopter prototypes at the same facility for the Army Aviation Department Test Activity. You might think that test-piloting helicopters is easier, or even safer, than testing jet fighters. Consider this—helicopters don't have ejection seats. If you make a mistake, you ride down with it! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- LISTING DETAILS: I Combine Shipping by starting with the HIGHEST SH QUOTE; it is then an additional $1.00 Per Figure.*Two or more vehicles are based on actual shipping weight PLEASE DO NOT PAY IMMEDIATELY AND LET ME KNOW THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OFFER SO THAT I CAN CONTINUOUSLY SEND UPDATED INVOICES SHIPPING & HANDLING FOR THIS LISTING IS free FOR USA – ITEM WILL BE PROTECTED!
