In this paper, we consider nonsingular flows on closed 3-manifolds which are transversely modeled on the real affine geometry of the plane. We obtain classification results for the following three types of flows. (1) Flows whose developing maps are $\mathbb{R}$-bundle maps over $\mathbb{R}^2$. (2) Flows whose holonomy groups are contained in $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$. (3) Flows with homotopy lifting property whose holonomy groups are contained in $SL(2,\mathbb{R})\ltimes \mathbb{R}$.
