The Spirit of America Paper Airplane
The Sprit of America was first introduced to the world on July 20, 2008.
It's the culmination of many years of experimenting with different types of folds to finally create a great looking paper airplane that really flies.
The Spirit of America marks a whole new generation in paper airplanes, and we hope it sparks your creativity. We think it's one of the best paper airplanes out there (despite all the others calling themselves the "best").
It's an homage to the Air Force-brat background of one of xplanes4u.com's co-founders, and the many awe-inspiring airshows he attended while growing up.

Spirit of Freedom - World War Series
Freedom's Spirit is Strong
In support of our fans in Israel, Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan we've created what we call the Spirit of Freedom paper airplane templates, each with the flag of its respective country and that of the U.S.
These templates were created in recognition of the basic human yearning for freedom and in the spirit of solidarity with the people of these countries, and the troops fighting in them, as they struggle and endure through these challenging times.
Spirit of Iranian Freedom
( with only Iranian flag)
And now we're proud to unveil the new Freedom Flyers--like the Spirit of Freedom planes, but in the American Flyer style. We hope you like them.
