CRESTVIEW — Ken Blackburn, an aerospace engineer and former Guinness World Record holder for paper airplane time aloft (27.60 seconds), will present “Aerodynamics for Dummies: Folding & Flying Paper Airplanes” for the Aug. 5 First Tuesday Series program at the Crestview Public Library.
This free program is suitable for children ages 6 and up through adult. Participants will get to fold a paper airplane based upon his award-winning design and test fly them outside (weather permitting) for a chance to win one of Blackburn’s bestselling paper airplane books.
Blackburn works as a civil servant at Eglin Air Force Base, performing research on small, unmanned air vehicles. He and his wife Lauren live in Okaloosa County.
The program begins at 10:30 a.m. at the library, 1445 Commerce Drive, Crestview. Juice, coffee and cookies will be served at 10 a.m. when the doors open. Call 682-4432 for details.
