Success isn't guaranteed even if you know how to make the best paper airplane in the world. John Collins spent three years perfecting his paper plane model, the "Suzanne," in the hope of claiming the Guinness World Record for the longest paper airplane flight. He did indeed have the best paper plane in the world, but he recognized that he didn't have the best throwing arm. It wasn't until he partnered with Joe Ayoob, a former college-football quarterback. On February 26, 2012, the pair broke the world record that had stood since 2003 with a flight of 226 feet and 10 inches.
