Thank you Mark for remembering that Pure had such a plane.

And thank you Alan, for posting an image of it...

(another plane I will need to keep an eye "peeled" out for)

Rick, I think that you and the "chimps" might be out on the water... Living on your Yacht.. So I am taking a chance, that it might be safe to add another image to the balsa airplane list?

One from the late 1950s, possibly into the early 70s, before the embargo?:



(the image is from the 'net, not one I put together... LOL)

I came across some items, that relate to the advertising paper airplanes... Advertising paper kites...

I remember enjoying "kite flying" both at the Coast and also at a perfect kite flying site we had on our acreage as a child...













I'm almost positive that I've seen other Company kites... I just couldn't find any images of them... So if you have a Company that hasn't been shown, please share an image of it....

Kites were a big thing when I was a kid growing up in the prairies during the early 70's. I like the graphic's on the AC kite.

It has been awhile since anything was added to this thread... Now that I have the Associated Aero-Plane, I thought I should "refresh" it, a little...

On ebay right now:

And my little collection of balsa, paper and styrofoam gliders... Ranging from the 1930s to the 1960s:



So far, I have: a Texaco balsa, 2 Gulf balsa, a Chevron paper, a Gulf paper, 2 APCO paper, an Associated Oil paper and a Leonard styrofoam, glider(s)...
