Another popular flying craft used by astronauts for fly-over photo missions and exploration. Just like the Jet Propulsion Pak, this "white" plastic molded craft would glide across a string with a "red" pull and hook. The radar antenna on top of the vehicle would rotate as the Recono Jet glides along. Comes with decals with a USA - 1 label, a "red" stripe that wraps around the engine housing like a band and a control panel.

This set also came with two small "chrome" plated hand-held accessories, a space camera and a lazer pistol. I have the lazer pistol with "red" and "black" painted details. Or some had just "black" painted accents over the chrome body. Everything on this card was unique and was not offered in any other package or set combination.

This card sported two small photos of Major Matt Mason flying the recono jet. One of these pictures has Matt hovering above Sgt. Storm with his visor raised. Was he trying to get a breath of fresh space vacuum? Surely this wasn't Major Matt, but an expendable crew member who's visor must have fogged up and he couldn't see where he was going. We can only wonder how long it'll take him to implode.

COMMENTS:
The recono jet is of a pretty sturdy construction. Some little molded on small parts may be broken off, sometimes even the radar dish will be lost. But still a very impressive piece of equipment.
