TUCSON - Remember making paper airplanes when you were a kid? Taking a piece of paper, folding it a few times, and it's instantly a feat of aerodynamic engineering.

Recently, the Pima Air and Space Museum held a "Paper Airplane Fly-Off" for kids ages 6 to 14. Each kid threw a plane they designed and folded themselves, and the farthest throw won!

Today on News 4 at 4, the winner, 12-year-old Arturo Valdenegro, stopped by to show off his winning design. Arturo will go to California as a guest engineer on a team building a massive paper airplane that will fly next month over the Arizona desert.

Check out the video above to see Arturo make and fly his winning airplane!
