Flying With the Hess Cargo Plane and Jet

I received product/compensation in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

When my boys were little they had a ton of toy vehicles. We had them everywhere as my boys are close in age and they played with only cars, trucks and trains everyday all day! Planes were something that was not really in stores at the time and I guess I never gave it a second thought. I am sure if there were more plane toys we would have had them.

Did you know that cargo trucks, cargo boats and cargo trains are popular toys but until now there wasn’t really cargo planes? Hess Toy Truck company has been producing safe and durable collectible toys for 60 years and for 2021 they have launched the Hess Cargo Plane and Jet.

The 2021 Hess Cargo Plane and Jet is seriously a toy to compete with this year. It is first of all, huge! Just looking a the box I was surprised to see how big the plane was and then better yet, it is actually two planes for the price of one.

Features of the Hess Cargo Plane and Jet:

6 buttons and motion-activated flying sounds

32 high-visibility LED lights

14-inch-long fuselage and 15-inch wingspan – making it the Cargo Plane is the largest Hess vehicle ever!

The smaller jet fits nicely inside for storage and on-the-go fun.

3 Energizer® AAA batteries are included – which when does that ever happen with toys!

This plane is amazing for its price and it is a 2-for-1 with the two planes (well one plane and one jet). The big plane is over a foot long and the smaller one is not much smaller. While my boys are too old for this, I know my nephew will love it as he loves all toy vehicles and I haven’t heard of him having a toy plane yet. Why is it that toy planes seem so rare? A cargo plane is especially cool because it fits stuff inside for extra fun and ways to play.

I love all the sounds and lights on this toy, it really can entertain a child and excite them in creative play. Honestly, usually I prefer toys that don’t have sounds to them and are kid-powered but there is definitely a time for battery-operated fun and this plane is one of them.
