F-14 Tomcat by Michael G. LaFosse

Video Tutorial

2021-02-16

This origami jet stole my heart the first time I folded it. I just spent the whole week folding it. It amazed me by how much it resembles a real fighter jet and is still able to fly. This the F-15 Tomcat designed by Michael G. LaFosse. A wonderful origami jet that flies far. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

If you missed my last Exotic Paper Airplane "Paper Plane 040 : Love is in the Air by Francis Ow", you could watch it at https://youtu.be/7flFBQkHBRQ

Thanks For Watching!
