ABSTRACT:
A target toy for dropping objects such as parachutes from a carrier simulating an airborne vehicle such as an airplane, onto defined locations on an upwardly presented moving target area. A generally horizontal arm on a base extends above the target area and supports the toy airplane for generally radial back and forth scanning movement. The toy is provided with an optical sighting system which has a sight remote from the airplane and which may include a reducing lens to increase the illusion of height and permit the target locations to be seen in advance. The airplane appears to be flying high over the target area. There are manually operable mechanisms for selectively effecting the scanning movement of the toy airplane and for selectively releasing the parachutes from the airplane. A player can look through the sighting mechanism, can shift the airplane radially back and forth with respect to the rotating target area to sight selected locations on the target area, and can then operate the release mechanism to attempt to drop objects onto such selected locations.
