World’s Largest Paper Planes

Well, unfortunately the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:NASA_Langley_paper_airplane.jpg
world’s largest real paper planes aren’t usually kept
outside, so today we’ll have to make do with sculptures of
extremely large paper planes.

in Mukilteo, Washington, Dillion Works (who specialise in
creating large 3D architectural elements), claim to have the
world’s largest paper plane
doubling as an awning over their front door (http://www.wlra.us/wl/wlpaperairplane.htm ground level
shot).

Meanwhile in Germany, we find an equally huge, but slightly more
adventurous paper plane, which has
come to rest on the roof of Berlin’s Tegel airport.

So, does anybody know of any more huge paper planes lying
around? src='/wp-content/uploads/2007/2007121917165581277803.gif'

Thanks to me and Frank.

The World’s Largest Airport

Filed under: Google Sightseeing — Wrote by Lees on Wednesday, December 19th, 2007 @ 2:03 am

Continuing this week’s semi-theme of very large things, we
present the world’s largest airport near Dammam,
Saudi Arabia!

Although it’s nowhere near what I’d expect from such a grand
title. Compare its tiny, empty terminal to the bustling Heathrow
airport and you’d be forgiven for thinking I was making it all
up.

You see,
King Fahd International is the world’s largest airport by area,
and at 780 km² it is bigger than the nearby country of
Bahrain. There’s 698,585 people in
Bahrain and they’ve still got three
airports!
