Aviation Quiz-12

The camel looks a bit overdressed.....don't know the technical name but it looks like something to guide the airflow over the stabiliser??? http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...n_rolleyes.gif

Impressive Vicki, I thought this would stump the board. The panels do have "something" to do with airflow and for that "best guess" http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
you get the points.
Those rectangular panels are vortex generators.

Ok, that was a tough question; the next one is a lot easier.
Question 4, you've seen hundreds of pushbacks, so what's missing here?
I've captioned this one--

very amusing picture, now that's really a low budget airline!http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

That picture was taken in Scotland? It looks like something they'd do in Mexico.

Naw it is Scotland .. someone said they'd seen a 10p coin caught under one of the landing wheels !!! http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

As part of our United Way campaign, we had a contest, which team could pull a 757 something like 25 feet the fastest... Was an interesting experience.

Timm, your team pulled a 757 for distance and time, that's muscle and hustle. http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...on_biggrin.gif

Question 5, final question
look at this photo <a href="http://www.airliners.net/open.file/326989/M/" target="_blank">http://www.airliners.net/open.file/326989/M/</A> ] see those stick-like protusions jutting out from the flight surfaces, what are they? http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Static probes for bleeding the static from the plane http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...on_biggrin.gif

Vicki you are correct, static wicks/probes.

You are this game's high scorer
Aviator--you're energetic, vigorous and dynamic and although not much of a sailor, by land or air you're always "ready to roll". You really love airplanes, the hustle and bustle of airports and can sleep on a rock. You're a little crazy (no doubt a result of your many years of power breathing jet fumes) airline knowledgeable and are punctual to a fault. In fact if it weren't for your unusual requirement to travel only during daylight hours (yes, I remember that question about daylight savings time) you'd be the perfect travel companion. http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...on_biggrin.gif

Edited for clarity, because while I knew what I wanted to say, nobody else had a clue. http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...on_biggrin.gif
