"Rather than writing papers, 30 university students were folding them into paper airplanes yesterday to compete in the Red Bull Paper Wings National Competition.

 

Playing on the energy drink's slogan — "Red Bull will give you wings" — the company brought qualifiers from universities across the country to Toronto's City Centre Airport to compete in three categories: longest distance, longest airtime and most aerobatic. The first two categories were restricted to paper airplanes, while the final one allowed pre-made planes."
