Kitfox Aircraft has introduced the Patriot Fox, a special edition aircraft created to honor America’s heritage, celebrate the freedom of flight, and showcase the Kitfox brand.

We wanted to create an airplane that honors those values while reminding people why they fell in love with flying in the first place.”

Built on the Kitfox Series 7, the Patriot Fox combines STOL performance with:

  • Backcountry capability
