"It's a jet, so what's not to like? The wings fold, making it very compact while still looking awesome. The truck also holds the plane very well, and the yellow car (for the air traffic controller) is a nice touch. I think adding training-related items to this series is great as astronauts go through extreme training and preparation for their voyages."
I would recommend this to a friend!

"Yesterday was my birthday and so I decided to buy this set since it was already in stores. I've waited all year for this set to be released, I discovered it back in February and was really surprised that Lego was releasing this set and was really excited for it
Truck-This truck is my favorite component to the set. By looking at it you can tell that it is an older truck model. It looks like a Peterbuilt 379 or 359. Lego has never designed a truck like this before for the City sets and I love it. I like how they used a metallic silver for the grille pieces instead of gray. The exhaust pipes stand straight up which are perfectly fine with me. The back of the truck is boxy but I'm going try and fix it. The fuel tanks are the 2x4 tiles and I think they would look better if they were 2x4 cylindrical pieces instead.
Trailer-The trailer is nothing new to me because Lego has used this trailer frame for previous sets. There are some minor new details for it such as the 1x6 tile used as a oversize load banner which I really like best about it. Then there are elements to keep the jet in place so it won't shift while having the trailer attached to the truck.
Jet-This makes my first plane I have for City sets. In the past I had a few more but took them apart and packed them away. The jet kind of reminds me of the Besra from Grand Theft Auto V (for those of you that played GTA before). The wings fold up and down for flying and for being transported. I don't have any complaints about the jet.
Service Car-There is not a whole lot to review about this vehicle. It looks like something you would see on a airfield/airport. It comes with accessories such as a wrench, fuel tank, and guiding lights.
Minifigures-This set comes with three minifigures. They are a truck driver, pilot, and airport personnel.
I love this set, the only I can complain about is that at most stores in costs $50 which is a little overpriced to me. So if you are wanting this set please buy it!"
