What's wrong with you guys?
I was down on the floor and was embarrassed. I saw a lot of very VIP's walking around down there.
How would you feel if you just hit your $10-20K sponsor in the head with a paper airplane? Or even the eye? That would really make me want to give more money into the program.
Think before you act people, I mean come on...

When I went to my first Championship in 2003, I thought it was pretty inspiring, especially the ones that would make it from the upper tiers of the stands all the way down to the field. And now I work designing passenger jets (but I still make awful paper airplanes). But airplane people like airplanes no matter what size they are, so I suppose we can take that with a grain of salt.
On a technical note, if your airplane makes it to the field I'd imagine you've got a pretty great glide slope so I wouldn't think impaling a sponsor is a big worry. I'd be a lot more worried about ones that crash and burn in the stands and potentially getting someone on another team or a member of the public at large. And I imagine a championship very VIP probably gave a lot more than $20k.
