I'm not saying that you are wrong in any of your feelings/thoughts but the VIPs in the suite didn't seem to be feeling disrespected.

Which part of the suite? I sat on the left side, and there were several students/team members from a couple teams that were throwing them, but I didn't see a single VIP in my section throwing them.
With that said, many planes from the upper deck either looped under, or turned and ended up in the crowded VIP section. During the acceptance speech for the founders award, a plane looped from the upper deck back into the VIP section, and hit a VIP from Rockwell-Collins in the face. He (colorfully) made his feelings felt, and left. This happened multiple times, and my wife was hit with one that had several staples in the nose.
I wonder what impression we left with a high level employee from a major sponsor? While Dean was telling him how much he was appreciated, a student drilled him in the face with a paper airplane. I know which message would stick in my memory.
