The American Flyer Paper Airplane

The American Flyer is our attempt to create a plane almost as cool as the Spirit of America that's easier to fold and still flies great (if not better--but don't tell the SoA fans). It definitely seems to be easier to fly and more forgiving of a bad throw. Try it for yourself, and have fun!

How-to Fold the American Flyer

Armed Services Flyers

We're very proud to present a series of templates we're calling Armed Services Flyers. We've covered the major branches of the military below but if you've got a special logo or seal for your unit or division, just send us an email with the artwork, and we'll be happy to design a template for you. It's the least we can do for our brave fighting men and women. Because we know we sleep safe at night (and enjoy paper airplane flying during the day) because of the sacrifices you're making.

If you're a fan of the Spirit of America plane, be sure to check out our Spirit of the Armed Services series.

Freedom Flyers

We're sorry it took so long, but we're happy to be bringing you the new Freedom Flyers series, based on our Spirit of Freedom planes that have been so popular. We know the SoA can be a little difficult, so we had to bring you these alternatives to the Spirit of Freedom planes. We hope you like them.
