Theories

Kate's toy airplane was a small model airplane that is one of Kate's most prized possessions, being a symbol of her relationship with Tom Brennan. The toy airplane was found in Edward Mars' Halliburton case after the crash.

Kate's toy plane was a model of a Douglas DC-3 propeller aircraft. It had a special significance to Kate as it was originally owned by Tom, her childhood sweetheart, then placed in their time capsule, then retrieved many years later when they were adults. ("Born to Run")

TimelineEdit

• The plane started as a children's toy of Kate's childhood sweetheart, Tom. He acquired it as a souvenir of an airplane trip to Dallas he took alone (without an accompanying adult). He was seen playing with it during Kate's attempt to steal a lunchbox. ("Born to Run")  ("The Incident, Part 1")

TriviaEdit

The toy plane as seen at Lost: The Auction

• 5025 is the number marked on the wing.
• Kate's toy airplane is included as a prop in the Kate action figure set.
• 815 is the number of the safety deposit box the airplane was in during the bank robbery. It is the same number as the flight. (Oceanic Flight 815)

Other toy airplanesEdit

• Toy airplanes also appeared on the mobile in Claire's DHARMA nursery. ("Maternity Leave") However, the planes in the mobile had the logo for Oceanic Airlines. Kate's plane looks more like a DC-3 (prop plane), while the planes on the mobile are jets.
• Frank Lapidus observes a toy airplane sinking in an aquarium as he listens to a news report about the discovery of the wreckage of Flight 815 in Sunda Trench. ("Confirmed Dead")
