About LEGO 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.
1997 LEGO Sets
1997 saw LEGO’s first major sales decline, prompting experimentation and digital expansion. LEGO Island introduced the brand’s first open-world video game, setting the stage for future digital storytelling. New subthemes included Divers for underwater exploration, Fright Knights for gothic medieval fantasy, and Time Twisters as a sequel to Time Cruisers. LEGO Space added Roboforce and UFO, shifting toward alien-focused designs, while Aquazone expanded with Aquaraiders. Despite challenges, LEGO’s creativity remained strong across both physical and emerging digital platforms.
