Perhaps the most famous USask legend surrounds the 271 paper planes stuck in the 68-foot high domed ceiling of the Thorvaldson Room, also known as the Airplane Room. As the story goes, pilots-in-training for World War II made and threw the planes at the ceiling. If the plane stuck in the ceiling they would have good fortune, however if it did not, it meant the pilot wouldn't be coming home. It is said that family members would visit the room to make sure their loved ones' airplane was still stuck.
