About Town Flight

The LEGO Town Flight theme, active from 1985 to 2004, centered around aviation and air travel. Significant sets include 6392 Airport, a foundational set featuring a terminal and control tower, and 1682 Space Shuttle Launch, which combined aviation with space exploration. The 10159 City Airport set modernized the theme with updated airport facilities, while 6597 Century Skyway provided an extensive airport layout with multiple aircraft and detailed infrastructure.

Flight consists of 24 sets that ran from 1985 to 2004. As of today, 6392 Airport is the most valuable Flight set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $1,022.
