Paper Airplane Throwing Contest

Veronica shows off the three paper airplanes she made.

The weather was nice enough to enjoy some time outdoors today. Though not particularly warm, there was a nice north breeze blowing. And that made for perfect conditions for our first paper airplane throwing contest of the year.

See below for photos of all the respective aircraft that participated (Emily was at a friend's house), as well as a pair of videos that captured (nearly) all of the action. You'll have to ask Julia what "Sain Air" means. (Hint: It is a play off of Sean's first name.)

Veronica's plane – Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 – went missing shortly after this photo was taken.

Lauren had a BMC Racing Team-themed aircraft.

This was Sean's second plane – and it stayed up in the air a long time.

Olivia had quite the needle-nosed craft (complete with Rudolph-themed tip).

Lauren's second plane was equally as artistic as the first – but not very "air-tastic."

Add Veronica's Malaysia Airlines Flights 371 and 373 to the list of planes that went missing.

We're not sure what "The Prison Airplane" is all about. You'll have to ask Lauren.

Julia made this amazing plane after watching a YouTube video. It flew nearly 50 feet.
