Jets outside, paper planes indoors: Sacheon's two ways of flying

One side of Sacheon's air festival celebrates full-size aircraft. Another asks what a folded sheet of paper can do.

The organizer Weplay specifies Oct. 24 at Samcheonpo Sports Complex indoor gym, 32-1 Jugong-ro, Sacheon. The events are distance-gliding, longest flight and Infinity Glider racing. This is a different venue from the main airshow airfield, a practical distinction for visitors.

A paper plane stops being merely a classroom pastime when it has event rules, categories and a competition. The design that travels far is not automatically the one that remains airborne longest.

Divisions include young children, elementary grades and older participants. Registration caps and divisions mean an airshow visitor cannot simply assume they can enter the contest on arrival.

The official competition page lists Oct. 24, preregistration Oct. 3–18, capacity around 1,000 and no on-site registration. Capacity is not the number who actually participated or won; no final result sheet was verified.

The Oct. 24 schedule is the announced program for a day already underway or completed; winners are not invented here. Future results and events should be checked through the organizer, and visitors should keep the two venues distinct.
