Abstract
A set of glider planes formed in the shape of actual fighter aircraft are provided. Each glider includes a flat front portion having the profile of a fighter aircraft and bearing a graphical depiction of the fighter aircraft. To improve the aerodynamics of the gliders, each glider includes a generally circular flat rear portion extending rearwardly from the front portion. The rear portion may include a graphic depiction of exhaust plumes. The glider is inexpensively constructed of a foam laminate material and is launchable by means of a common household elastic band. A launching base, configured in the shape of a miniature aircraft helmet, is provided. The launching base has a hollow cavity sized to mount securely over the left thumb of a child. An elastic band connects the launching base to the glider to provide a launching mechanism.
