Feb. 9 (UPI) -- A Texas man folded 250 paper planes in one hour -- an average of four per minute -- and proved they could fly to attempt a Guinness World Record.
Tyler resident Richard DeFreece, who first applied to Guinness World Records two years ago, said he got the go-head for his official attempt in December 2025, and he made his try at the record on Saturday.
DeFreece managed to fold 250 paper planes in the allotted time, besting the goal of 200 set by Guinness World Records.
Each plane was tested by an official at the end of the attempt to ensure they were all airworthy.
"It feels awesome," DeFreece told the Tyler Morning Telegraph. "It's a lot of hard work and practice that went into it and I'm glad to get the record."
