Before y'all think I'm retarded, let me explain.
We had a father and son visit the station today in the middle of the afternoon. The kid was a bit unruly, and Dad was a cop there on business. We had to entertain the child, or he'd run amok. The easiest, cheapest and least painful entertainment ever for kids has always been the paper airplane.
We're all engineers, and everybody had a favorite as a kid, so we folded up a couple pieces of paper out of the recycling bin, and gave the planes to the kid. He threw them in the engine bay for a good hour without losing focus or hurting anything. Then one of them went pretty high, close to the rafters, and out the front of the bay.
We didn't see where it went. The kid kept throwing the other plane while we searched the grounds and the street in front of the station. No dice. The plane eventually floated back into the bay from somewhere. No idea.
Later, after dinner, we were idly throwing the plane around when it did something very similar. Out it went, it took a left and completely dropped off the radar. Again, we went looking for it. Again, no dice.
Half an hour later, one of the guys saw the plane. It wasn't hanging onto a nail, or stuck on a hook ... Just the oddest current of wind, holding it flat against the bricks on the front of the firehouse.
