The Aerospace World: WOMEN OF AVIATION AT IT AGAIN

	Setting Guinness World Records to Raise Awareness & Promote Your WOAW Activity

HELP BUILD AN HISTORICAL NUMBER OF PINK PAPER PLANES ACROSS THE GLOBE - MARCH 8, 2016, 12:00-12:15, LOCAL TIME

Nothing is quite as simple and inexpensive as building a Pink Paper Plane. Yet, nothing is quite as symbolic and powerful as building a Pink Paper Plane. It is an implicit acceptance by the builder, male or female, that women do indeed belong in aviation.

	Join ‘The Aerospace World’ Team of Experts as we bring you the latest news from the venue

On March 8, 2016 (106_th anniversary of the world's first female pilot license & International Women's Day), let's build an historical number of Pink Paper Planes from 12:00 to 12:15 (local time) in as many time zones as possible across the globe to highlight the lack of advancement of women in the air and space and raise awareness of opportunities available today.

Together, we are attempting to set the following Guinness World Records:

Most people making paper aircraft simultaneously (multiple venues)
Most paper aircraft built simultaneously (one time zone)
Most paper aircraft built within 24 hours (multiple time zones)

Gather your colleagues at work, round-up your buddies at the club, meet your friends at the local airport restaurant, or visit a local science classroom to build Pink Paper Planes!

Make it fun! Offer prizes to your top Pink Paper Planes producer(s). How about a Fly It Forward® flight at the local airport or one of our cool t-shirts?

A GOLDEN PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITY

Whether you want to promote your upcoming event or simply encourage girls and women to visit your flight school, your aviation facilities, or your museum, taking part in our Guinness World Records attempt at the begining of The Week is sure to attract the attention of local media.
