Celebrate National Paper Airplane Day

May 26 2022

May 26 is National Paper Airplane Day – a day to appreciate the simple aeronautical tradition that inspires the wonder of flight. Making paper airplanes is a centuries-old activity that sparks nostalgia and creativity and ignites an interest in aviation.

For some, paper airplanes are simply a class distraction. For others, building a paper airplane opens a window into the world of aviation and piques their aspiration to join an industry made up of extraordinary, unique people that share a passion for flying.
