Wichita State alumus Julian Chee has been fascinated with airplanes and flight since he was a child growing up in Malaysia.
"I've always been interested in anything that flew as a kid," he said. "Flying is a very alien concept, so anything that flew captivated me."
That fascination grew into an adult-sized hobby and eventually earned him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records this spring for the farthest flight of a paper airplane.
On April 16 using Chee's design, Kim Kyu Tae and Shin Moo Joon — both from South Korea — added some small modifications to Chee's design and threw the plane a jaw-dropping 252 feet, smashing the previous world record by 26 feet.
