Giant paper plane thunders across Arizona sky
An Arizona aircraft museum reckons it has taken the record for the launch of the biggest ever paper plane: a 45ft (13.7m) long monster which glided to Earth last week from a height of 2,703ft (824m). Pima Air & Space Museum's hefty 800lb (363kg) Arturo's Desert Eagle needed a helicopter to haul its 24ft (7.3m) wingspan off the …

Riding on a big white paperplane
Getting seasick, sorry once again
Landing strip is getting nearer
Hope the fog lifts, make it clearer
Then I realised my paperplane
Wasn’t really up there with me.....
With apologies to Status Quo
Re: a lively landing
By all accounts, it came straight down.
It was in the air for approx 15 seconds from ~2500 or 4000 ft, depending one who's account one reads. This does not, IMHO, constitute "flying". I think the ElReg Special Project Dept. ought to have some strong words. Incompetent plagiarism would be a good starting point...
One of my folded A4 sheet of paper airplanes would have taken *minutes* to get down from that height.

Nice attempt, but could not match PARIS for altitude!

Ok, I will try.

Typical performance
Sadly the museum was taken over by the kind of folks who would think this was a good idea some years ago, causing a real flight of knowledgeable docents. The flight path of the "paper" airplane parallels that of the institution.
Batman car video........
Glad I clicked on the batman car video at the end of the paper plane clip, can't help feeling a bit of a treat was served up at around 9.00mins in.
Buzz......
"This isn't flying, this is falling with style! "
Looked a lot like it was about to go into a nose-diving spiral to me...
