As always, I feel welcome here and I was honored to be chosen as judge for the paper airplane flying contest on Monday. Here’s the rundown for anyone who missed it:
In spite of a rocky start, as both Jen and Sexytech were searching for adhesive, each contestant created an orgamic masterpiece worthy to be called an “aeroplane”.
When all the planes were all folded, it came time for the toss. At first it appeared that Jen and Morgan were at an advantage, as they both had more room for an adequate flight path. But no, Sexytech learned fairly quickly why real planes are first tested in a wind tunnel instead of being launched from the ground. Her plane only traveled arm’s length before crashing back to earth. The flames. The screaming. The “Oh the humanity!”.
Morgan once again scored second place. She decided to enter a classic flyer, and took her time to make her folds crisp and even. Kudos to her instructor, as her plane sailed gracefully to the other end of her room.
Jen, though, had practiced nearly a lifetime for this moment. Her superplane, a to scale replica of an F-14, practically shot out of her hand as she launched it (good thing she let go). It sped down her hallway and won her the competition. Congrats Jen, on your victory.
