Aviation quiz-12 is another mystery photo quiz. I'll post a photo and you have to identify what's going on, really very easy. http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif However just so we don't have a repeat of Quiz-10, which was open for almost 6 months http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif, with this quiz I'm encouraging 'best guess' answers. That's right; even if you don't know the slats from the flaps I encourage you to post an answer. All 'best guess' answers will be awarded points on a purely subjective basis with absolutely no rhyme or reason, making the quiz completely arbitrary and in no way representative of any general aviation knowledge, therefore post away and have fun.
As previously stated a detailed explanation of scoring is available by sending Mrs. Field's chocolate chip cookies (with walnuts) to me at LAX. Inquiries will be answered within 6 to 8 weeks and are not valid in certain cities, provinces and countries.
Ok, lets see some answers.

It's having it's blue rinse after the cut and perm.
Deicing.
-
I'll guess: de-icing the wings?
Also, where are you at LAX in case I happen to be there with extra cookies?
-
man, you people are serious about that non-smoking thing!
-
It appears we're off to a good start, but because there's always a chance of late arrivals, cumulative scores will be kept and posted at the end of the quiz. http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Scooby, with a iffy statement like that, you don't even get my alternate cookie drop-off location. http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...on_biggrin.gif
Now on the #2
The word ETOPS appears on some aircraft, but not all, what does ETOPS stand for? Don't google!
Edited to post link instead of attachment...it does not appear to be working. http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

One message is enough... don't need 4 of the same!

and Randy, not sure how this applies to the current post, but yes, California is a no smoking state. I don't want to visit Chicago again until they get similar laws (tobacco addicts are spewing fumes everywhere there... disgusting!)

Well, I agree with you on the smoking thing but don't hold your breath (no pun intended) for Chicago to go smoke-free. We're a BIG smoking town.
This also means you're going to have BIG problems traveling to Latin America, Europe or Asia. Non-smoking rules are much less strict most places in the world than here.
But, in the end, while I may object to smoking it doesn't bother me.

Attention gamers--quiz 12 is suspended.
You know a mystery photo quiz without mystery photos has a few inherent problems. http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...on_biggrin.gif

Resume quiz (slightly altered-with links)
Question 3- warning seatbelt light is on http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
Look at this photo from Airliners.net. See those (4) small rectangular panels jutting out on the tail right below the rudder, what is that.
(uh-huh this is the best photo I could find http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...on_biggrin.gif http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif) <a href="http://www.airliners.net/open.file/759432/M" target="_blank">http://www.airliners.net/open.file/759432/M</A>
Edited to add second photo
A second photo showing the panels, look close there right under the camel http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...on_biggrin.gif

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

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
This quiz is closed!
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
