Do airmail pads still exist?
Or is this another thing that's been lost to the world?

I just went to a Duane Reade and a CVS looking for one, as I remembered buying them at Woolworth's as a child.

I remember the pads too, and your post made me curious, so I went poking around...

It would appear that airmail paper per se is now a collector's item in the US. Even the plain, lightweight onionskin is rare in North America, but I did find one company that sells it by either the ream or the box. No nifty airmail logo on it, but lovely quality, lightweight paper to make international postage not so onerous.
