World Paper Plane Contest
how did this very important aviation topic not make this board before?
www.redbullpaperwings.com Aussie takes third in paper plane champs An Australian university student has won a bronze medal at a paper plane world championships event in Austria, following an intense two-day weekend display of aerodynamics. Dylan Parker, 21, outclassed more than 250 paper plane enthusiasts from 83 countries to place third in the long distance category at the Paper Wings World Finals in Salzburg, Austria. The Canberra student threw his plane - made from a single sheet of A4 paper - an impressive 40.78 metres. Fellow Australian James Norton was a favourite to take out the longest airtime category, until his paper plane hit a roof fixture in the competition hanger, sending his gold medal hopes crashing to the ground. poor James, we all know what it is like to crash a plane  Banjo
