Back for a second consecutive year is the popular YVR Take Off Fridays Paper Airplane Competition, scheduled for Friday, July 11th at 11:00am. Participants of all ages are invited to vie for the chance to scoop up huge prizes, as they square off to create an airplane that will soar past their competitors. Paper airplane expert Ralph Heldt will coach participants on the aerodynamics of paper airplanes and which folding methods will yield the farthest flights.
The free Public Observation Area will be open and it has interactive displays year-round with history and behind-the-scenes looks at Canada’s second busiest airport. Look out at the airfield through telescopes and learn more about Sea Island.
Enjoy a special YVR Take Off Fridays parking rate of $5 for up to four hours in YVR’s Parkade. You can also take the Canada Line in, making for a fun-filled day of transportation-themed education and entertainment with the family.
