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
In 1997, the LEGO Group faced significant challenges as it grappled with a changing toy market and internal organizational shifts. While the company introduced its first-ever licensed theme, "Star Wars," laying the groundwork for one of its most successful and enduring lines, it also experienced a dip in sales for the first time since its inception. The LEGO Group recognized the need to innovate and diversify its product offerings beyond traditional brick sets, leading to endeavors in new areas like software and video games, with the launch of LEGO Island, its first PC game. This year marked a period of introspection and transformation for the iconic toy company.
