World’s Largest Paper Planes
Monday, 26th February 2007 by Alex Turnbull
Well, unfortunately the 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 (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? 😀
Thanks to me and Frank.

What is it with Americans and their obsession with all this “Worlds largest whatsoever”?! 😀
And has anyone found the “The World’s Largest Ball of Twine” yet? If so, was there a DeSoto parked in front of it?
And does that DeSoto have a guy holding a sign that said “Twine Ball or Bust”?
And here is an picture of the paper plane from tegel airport http://www.bildhauerei-in-berlin.de/_html/_katalog/details-403.html
I think the ball of twine is kept indoors (a barn if my memory serves me correctly)… remember seeing something about it long time ago…
This part of Copenhagen’s airport looks very much like a giant paper airplane: View Placemark
Here’s the “World’s Largest Ball of Twine”:

Or one of them, anyway.
That first one’s not really a paper plane – it’s made from “fiberglass over steel and wood frame”…
Wow…there really DO exist “World largest Balls of Twine”?? 🙂 When fiction becomes reallity, huh? Or was it the other way around? I hope at least someone here got, that I was talking about “Sam & Max Hit the Road” 😀
my one is bigger, it is 3 metres long
