Paper airplanes usually fly around classrooms, but in mid-January, as part of the Red Bull Paper Wings World Paper Airplane Throwing Championship, they will also fly in selected locations in Ljubljana, Maribor and Portorož. The paper airplane spectacle is returning to our airspace, which will be hosted by 79 other countries scattered across four continents, and their national champions will compete for the world title in Salzburg.
Despite the fact that it is an aviation event, Red Bull Paper Wings will not take place at any of the three airports. Participants will fight for the best, longest and most acrobatic flight in Portorož (GEPŠ, 13.1.), in Ljubljana (Faculty of Sports, 14.1.) and in Maribor (UŠC Leon Štukelj, 15.1.), where there will be 13., 14. and 15.1. at 11 o'clock took place qualification for the national finals, which will take place in the Styrian capital at the same venue, on the same day, but two hours later (at 1:00 p.m.).
All winners of individual categories who will pass the national sieve will receive a ticket for world finals, which will take place between May 8 and 9 in the aviation museum Hangar 7 in Salzburg.
