This airplane was taught to me by my friend a couple years ago. It is somewhat simple, and likes a nice breeze. When thrown right, it can go about 6-7 yards. The pen lines you see are for help to see where to fold, not required. (this is my first Instructable, so go easy on the comments)

Supplies:
-Paper (standerd printer paper will do)
-Scissors
