I purchased this the Supersonic Airport for my four-year-old son, who LOVES aircraft.

Compared to the other Sky Buster toys, this set was a little disappointing. The Sky Buster planes themselves are very durable and detailed. The aircraft carrier, too, is realistically detailed and has a very useful storage compartment and carrying handle. This toy, on the other hand, is a little flimsy and isn't very portable.

The runway in particular good be better. It consists of three strips that nest inside each other. The end piece is easy to pull all the way out; my son asked me twice last night to put it back in for him. Also, because the pieces nest, they don't lay out flat and level. I wish they were hinged so that my son could push his plane and have it roll down the runway.

The set does contain a supersonic aircraft that I haven't seen sold separately, which was a plus.

We got this toy yesterday, and my son liked it, but he didn't rave about it like some of his other toys. Still, it's a decent, fairly inexpensive toy for children who love aviation.

This is a great little set that is quite fun to play with and explore. My 7 year old loved the sounds and the whole idea of a jet airport. The one downside is that it might have been nice if this fit into its own carry case so pieces didn't disappear easy. It doesn't really fold up very well.

Lots of fun! They loved the airport sounds. This toy was a big hit at Christmas. I would recommend this toy. Easy to pack for trips and a must have if you are flying on a trip.

I wish it had more to it: doesn't do much except make noise and an item or two move, but I guess you get what you pay for. It's still be a good gift with several airplanes to go with it.
