In an era when our shared history should be celebrated, our founding principles cherished, and the extraordinary sacrifices that built this nation remembered, Boeing is proud to partner with the National Archives on an unprecedented mission: bringing some of America’s founding documents directly to the American people.
The Freedom Plane National Tour: Documents That Forged a Nation represents something rare in modern America: a commitment to uniting, educating, and honoring the timeless truths that have made our republic the greatest force for freedom the world has ever known.
Beginning Monday, March 2, a Boeing 737 in a historic, commemorative Freedom Plane livery will transport original founding-era documents to eight cities across the country. These are the actual documents that some of our founders held in their hands: the Treaty of Paris, an original engraving of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Incorporation, the Oath of Allegiance, and more.
For most Americans, experiencing these documents means traveling to Washington, DC. The Freedom Plane changes that. From Kansas City to Atlanta, Denver to Seattle, Miami to Los Angeles, the tour helps bring history home to the American people using the innovation of modern flight.
The Freedom Plane offers something our digital age desperately needs: a tangible connection to the past. Inspired by the 1976 Bicentennial Freedom Train, which captivated millions of Americans during our 200th anniversary, the Freedom Plane revives that vision for America’s 250th birthday.
Boeing is honored to provide not only the 737 – an aircraft that helped make air travel more accessible – but also the professionalism and operational support needed to safely transport these irreplaceable treasures. Just as Boeing airplanes have connected people and places for generations, the Freedom Plane will connect Americans to the ideas and sacrifices that forged our nation.

The same Constitution that protects free enterprise and rewards innovation has allowed Boeing and countless American companies to prosper. We owe a debt of gratitude to those who came before us, and the Freedom Plane is just one way we can recognize that.
This tour also reflects Boeing’s deep roots in American defense and our continued commitment to the men and women who defend those founding principles in uniform today. Our service members take an oath to support and defend the Constitution. The Freedom Plane ensures that the document and the vision it represents remain accessible to the citizens they protect.
