Impressive Vicki, I thought this would stump the board. The panels do have "something" to do with airflow and for that "best guess"
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!
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 !!!

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.

I caption it-Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear.

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?

Static probes for bleeding the static from the plane
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.
This quiz is closed!
Edited for clarity, because while I knew what I wanted to say, nobody else had a clue.
