On a whim I bought this 2009 calendar for my 13-year old son. Oh my goodness, we could not have picked a better gift! He looks forward to each day when he can make a new plane. He'll try out each new one against the previous days to see which fly better. Some of the directions are a little hard to follow for him - no worries! It gives his father or me a chance to work on it with him. As an editor, I am so impressed with the quality of the calendar. EACH PAGE IS DECORATED! No kidding. That rocks. Many of the more difficult designs have direction lines that show where to make each fold. I think I'd like to take some of the cooler designs (they're all cool, yet some are just dynamite) and make a mobile for his room. The authors of this calendar did a fantastic job with this calendar.

A side note - we bought our other son (11) the origami calendar and that is just as cool. Such pretty paper!!

My son and I just built a bunch of planes from our "Paper Airplane Fold a
Day 2008 Calendar". Many we have built this year fly well, but the Space Ship One "SS-01" (Februar 1st 2008) that you designed is an unbelievable! Good job! Thanks. We enjoy the calendar very much.

I bought this product to use as an activity at a club social for people over 50. I held the party at Solo's (The Airplace Restaurant) here in Colorado Springs. Folding the airplanes (even the simplest) was much too difficult for seniors -- we range in age from 50 - 84. I should have gone with "make an airplane like you did in elementary school" then I would have had more participation in the "flying" competition that I held later in the evening. This kind of activity was an experiment on my part . . . one that worked somewhat but not as well as what I had envisioned. I will say that my grandson and son-in-law are having great fun with the fold-a-plane-a-day calendar because they inherited the product after my party.

I got this for my son for Christmas and he loves it. My husband and him make a new plane every morning first thing. Unfortunately he will not throw any of them out. He is going to have a HUGE box of planes by the end of the year.

I got this for my preteen son as X'mas gift. He loves this. He enjoys the daily folding of airplane and he has a cardboard box to keep all paper airplanes (from this calendar). When the airplanes are not in the cardboard box, they are flying everywhere in my house. He also got the Mensa 365 Brain Puzzlers. He did not like that one as much as this airplane one, though.

I purchased several of these for friends... mostly engineering types but they all love it and are flying them all the time. Great gift for that hard to buy for guy.

This is the second folding airplane calendar I have bought for my classrooms. As a public school speech-language pathologist, I have used some of these during lessons with students who have difficulty following directions. It is amazing how hard they will work for the finished project that they can take with them. All of my students love them!

i loved the paper airplane calendar 2009 and it arrived earlyer than i expected so amazon is the best shop in the internet
thank you
