Evening Library Time: Paper Airplanes

Author and aeronautical engineer Ken Blackburn will present a program at the Crestview Community Center on folding and flying paper airplanes for the January 28th Evening Library Time. Blackburn has held the Guinness World Record for time aloft for a paper airplane at 27.6 seconds and is the author of four paper airplane books including ?The World Record Paper Airplane Book? and ?Pocket Flyers.? The 6:30 p.m. program will begin with an explanation of the fundamentals of flight and the story of how Blackburn set his world record and will conclude with participants able to fold and fly a model of his world record paper airplane. Blackburn works at Eglin Air Force Base, performing research on small, unmanned air vehicles. He and his wife Lauren live in Destin. Registration is not required for this free event. For this program, it would be best if attendees are at least six years old. (In other words, small children will get antsy, so if you bring them, please also be willing to take them out if need be). Please call Heather at 682-4432 with questions.
