Classic Aircraft Trivia
Hello, aircraft fans!
In this edition of the Plane View, we’ll do something a bit different this time. Instead of me writing about one or more aircraft, it’s sort of a trivia game on aircraft. The rules are as follows, anyone who breaks them will lose… or something like that. CHEATING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED, as according to the Backyard Football Sudden Death Overtime Rules. Please send me your results via a “comment” box.

Laura,
Thanks so much for playing that. You were correct on 1,3,4,and 5. The answers are as follows:
1-A
2-C
3-B
4-A
5-B
6-B
The answer 3c was sort of a joke- that would be a small propeller driven airplane(such as a Cessna 172 or Piper Cherokee). But it was the bogus ID for Air Force 1 on 9-11.
Thanks so much!
Isaiah
