Free Airplane Coloring Pages (Print and Download PDFs)

Finding the best airplane coloring pages for a young child is a task I do not take lightly. I prefer to go with authentic aircraft images when choosing printable plane coloring pages. However, the younger preschoolers like the cartoon airplanes the most. It all depends on their age and interests! I am more into the coloring pages of helicopters, but coloring pages of planes is very similar to this. See what I mean with this set of free coloring sheets of jets and airplanes.

Cartoon Airplane Coloring Pages

The cartoon animated airplane coloring sheets for kids and preschoolers typically feature popular TV show characters. These include:

• Jay Jay the Jet Plane of Tarrytown Airport
• Jett from Super Wings!
• The Magic School Bus driven by Miss Frizzle
• X-Jet from the X-Men

There is also the popular Disney movie “Planes,” along with MetaJets. Finding some kid-friendly cartoon or animated coloring pages about airplanes and aircraft is all too easy! Also, there are a lot of aliens flying UFOs in cartoons, so consider these as part of your airplane coloring pages. Marvin the Martian and the Flying Saucer X-2 are certainly flying aircraft from cartoons.

Air Force Coloring Pages

The Air Force 1 coloring pages are some of the most interesting ones to print out and color on. Here is an authentically accurate and important airplane that children should learn about. We visited the Air Force One plane, also known as a Boeing 707-153, while at The Museum of Flight in Greater Seattle, Washington. Visitors get to walk through the actual plane where US Presidents once rested and read magazines. Maybe former presidents even colored some pictures for fun with their grandkids.

In the meantime, this is a great addition to any airplane coloring pages set. The color scheme of the plane on the outside, for the one known as SAM or Special Air Mission, is turquoise blue on the bottom half of the plane. Across the side of the plane on a white background are the bold letters “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” Jackie Kennedy actually came up with this artwork–with the help of some professionals, of course.

Jet Coloring Page

A jet coloring page is a sharp and fast image; the machine screams speed and so does the look of it. Get some printable downloads of jets to color and include those with your airplane coloring pages. These really add a whole new sophisticated element to coloring planes. Also, look at the Air Force coloring sheets for jets as these are popular in the military.

Hot Air Balloon Coloring Pages

Do hot air balloon coloring pages qualify as airplane coloring pages? Why, sure! These are qualified as aircraft that carry people and whatever picnic basket they have. So I say yes with resounding clarity.

Coloring Pages of Airplanes that Look Real

Real-looking airplanes to color typically are from the military. For instance, there are some Army coloring pages I found that show military aircraft. These include the military helicopter coloring pages along with airplanes. You could also count Air Force coloring pages in this category. Authentic aircraft artwork is important to have for anyone interested in flying planes in the future.

For families with teens who are ready for flying lessons, start by identifying basic airplanes and jets. This is a great art exercise for any age. I would encourage anybody to use airplane coloring sheets as a way to learn more about this form of transportation. It’s a popular way to travel and for getting around, and it looks way cool when being colored with markers or crayons.
