Since people seem to think that the off-topic section is for political discussion, something that is frowned upon, I have temporarily closed the section. ANY political discussions in any other forum will be deleted and the user suspended. I have had it with the politically motivated comments.

See how far you can "throw" a paper airplane:

74.079 meters.......

woo hoo 88.858!

this is a great way to kill a slow afternoon at work.

Crap, wasted a few hours, but got to 114.681 meters.

Trick is to start at the very top left corner, drag you pointer around the operating section of the display, and bring your pointer back in on the right side, somewhere just below the middle of the operating area. Now were talking distance and speed............

yeah, that's the trick, but I can't get past 114.385. Some folks on the blog linked to the upper right on the page claim to be getting into the 145's but I don't see how yet.

I found the black void, but was unable to recover..........

Sun Jan 20, 2008 3:14 pm

Got up to 125.776 and a rank of 462...of course, I am probably tied with 1000 people. If you go to the "blog" at the top and find the post from Sept. 21, it gives you some more specifics about avoiding the "black" and pulling back right before you go into it. It also suggests that somewhere just shy of 126 appears to be the limit.

Africa and East Indies killed me

I got the plane out of the window and hit the chimney, but I didn't check the distance.
Got 210,000 on Geo.
Can they make the map a little smaller?
It might be easier if they did!!!!! :lol:
1/32 of an inch off and you're 500 miles from your location!
Not very fair if you ask me. :lol:
Closest I got to any correct location was 15KM.
I could do better with a larger map.
It's fun, though!
