That is, until they took a closer look at the logo of finalist Jordan Daniel Craig.

After learning that he was a winner, “I laughed,” said Asuchak. “I don’t know, being sent to Toronto all expenses paid for making a paper plane is pretty ridiculous.” “People were coming up asking me to make planes for them … I felt like kind of a celebrity.” The Canadian qualifiers kicked off in Halifax on Feb. 4 Photos by Katie Turner and 10 cities later — including First-year student Ken Denouden, left, takes his first of two in Ottawa, Quebec City and throws in the Red Bull Paper Wings contest.

In addition to the 35 extra countries in this year’s challenge, contestants will have to face-off against the winners from the first year that automatically qualified for the Austria finals. “I took a year off and only just for fun did I set the occasional new world record in lecture halls,“ said Jovica Kozlica, the 2006 longest distance winner, on the Red Bull Paper Wings website. “To win it I had to fight my way through an armada of paper airplanes.” Also in attendance at the international finals will be American Ken Blackburn, the current world record holder for the longest airtime. Blackburn, who will be one of the competition’s judges, set the record in 1998 with a paper plane flight that lasted an impressive 27.6 seconds. In the meantime, Asuchak will continue to practice his piloting and bask in the fact that a paper airplane is taking him to Toronto and maybe even around the world.
