    1 - A
    2 - There are different runway markings. A & B are both correct. (Well down this way at least - white for the centreline, threshold markers, runway numbering and yellow on the borders and marking taxiway trail turnoffs).
    3 - B
    4 - A
    5 - A
    6 - A
    The Day begins west of the dateline. (But an Aviation "Day" begins west of Greenwich!)
    Dr. David Warren was the inventor of the rabbit housing projects.

    Al you answered 5 out of 6 quiz questions, plus the bonus question correctly.
    Note--With regard to question 2, I invoked quiz rule 5 and gave you the point.

    Your <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Dr. David Warren was the inventor of the rabbit housing projects.
    <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> surprise, surprise is wrong....but clever

    Anyone else care to take a guess?

    Glad to see this time Australia is not in the "exclusion zone"!

    Dr David Warren was an Australian who invented the "black box" flight recorder.

    Vicki I'm pleased to announce that the quiz rules have been amended. A detailed explanation of new eligibility rules are available by sending Mrs Field's chocolate chip cookies (with walnuts) to Migflanker at LAX.

    For office use only.
    This supersedes all previous notices.
