Flyin’ High: The FAA Salutes Cardstock Captain and His Eco-Friendly Fleet of Foldable Flyers
Award Honors Aviation Instructor Who Supports FAA ‘Safety Culture’ by Revolutionizing Paper Airplane Designs
In an unprecedented accolade reminiscent of a century-old aviation fairytale, an intrepid aviation instructor has soared to new heights in the aviation world—or rather, the paper aviation world. This daring mentor, known in high-flying circles as the ‘Orville Wright of Origami,’ has ingeniously propelled the art of paper airplane construction, achieving feats that have stunned even the most seasoned aviation experts.
Embracing a safety culture that puts the “civil” in Civil Air Patrol, our award recipient has meticulously crafted a safer way to nose-dive your dreams—literally. By donating countless volunteer hours, not to mention reams of high-quality, sustainably sourced A4 paper, this instructor has become the FAA’s poster child for safe, eco-friendly aviation.
The FAA, celebrating these wingtips of innovation, has recognized this leader’s groundbreaking contribution to facilities such as living room tarmacs and office cubicle runways. A spokesperson stated, “This award not only recognizes an instructor who reshaped aviation education, but it also highlights his daring campaigns to bring safety to desk-bound dreamers with a penchant for altitude.”
Courses, seminars, and workshops, all lavishly titled ‘From Tree to Free: A Journey through Paper in Aviation,’ have filled to capacity, flying in people from around the globe eager to learn to launch their aircraft into the supersonic realm of dust settling. His signature course, “Prevent Crumple Zones: A Guide to Impeccable Landings,” is particularly popular among enthusiasts who enjoy the thrill of a soft, yet firm paper-landing experience.
This honorable recognition paves the runway for future generations of paper pilots, perhaps emboldening them to take more than just a leap from desk chairs, officially marking the introduction of safety culture to the previously unregulated skies of living spaces. Strategic plans to introduce foldable seat belts and deployable creases are currently in discussion.
