The Aviation Trivia Game

[pilotdaryl 25]

Welcome to the Aviation Trivia Game!

With your host: Pilotdaryl!

The rules:

I will post a question on aviation.  Then, whoever answers the question right gets 10 points.  The question may be anything about aviation.

OFF TOPIC: Made a mistake with the above!  I will be recalculating scores as it was 5 points from the 2nd question and on, not 10! LOL!

For measurement questions, you can use either imperial or metric.

There are no rules on joining in, I'm telling you, ANYONE can play.

Neither are there rules that you can search the internet, encyclopedias, or other resources.

Every 25 questions, whoever is 1st/2nd/3rd makes it to the Quarterfinals, and they will be placed out of normal ranks and into the Quarterfinal ranks, to avoid repeation so that other members can have a chance.  However, you still get to play!

---

Since we have reached the quarterfinals stage, some new rules apply:

Also, when a regular game player reaches more than that of 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in the Quarterfinals (e.g. poops2u reaches 25 points), they will respectively replace whoever they have beaten in the scores in the Quarterfinals.  This will be important for the Semi-Finals.

Once we reach the Semi-Finals, it will stay three members rather than 6 (including those from the 1/4 finals), but the normal: 3 players, read the rule above for more info.

Then we reach the Finals, where you compete to get into the Olympic Finals.

---

There will be 200 questions or less, depending on popularity.

A new rule: One answer per post, and unless I post, the two-post rule is active. 
Added to to ngarner's answers.  Let other members have a chance.

---

Let the game begin!

Question 1:  What airport in Canada is currently having a terminal expansion?

---

Game host's notes:

Renaming: Renamed to "The Aviation Trivia Game" due to the fact that not every question is on airports.

Next season: There will be a next season everyone, so stay tuned after the Olympics!

Beebs: Nope, incorrect.

Game record

EDIT: Why didn't I read Beeb's post?!?

Ok, I guess at Edmonton.

[shivsood 5]

toronto?

[spa 968]

If you're going to minus people for guesses you're not going to get too far with this. What about Halifax International. It seems all they've done since it was turned over to the Airport Authority was build and renovate. If not Halifax what about instead of Pearson Toronto's City Centre Airport. I know there has been a lot of controversy about expanding it and whether to build a bridge to it.

[pilotdaryl 25]

Game records

May 17, 2006: Shivsood is right, I can understand you meant Pearson.  Terminal 1 (New) is being expanded, and they've recently completed phase 1, and are preparing for phase 2.

1st- shivsood- 10 points.

By the way, I'm getting rid of incorrect -5.

And now for the questions

Question 2: What is the second largest airport in the United States, in terms of area?

Question 3:  Name the two flights that crashed into the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001.

[newyorkstate 6]

Flight 11 / 175

Good job, newyorkstate, 5 points.  You can get another 5 if you can specify the airlines.

1st- shivsood- 10 points

2nd- newyorkstate- 5 points

[newyorkstate 6]

A Boeing 767, American Airlines

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

American and United

[spa 968]

hmm second largest airport in the US. My guess would be O'Hare or Atlanta International (I'm assuming one of them is #1 and the other is #2).

[pilotdaryl 25]

Game record

May 18, 2006:

And The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz got it right.  5 points for specifying the airlines.  However, newyorkstate answered first with the plane types and one of the airlines, so he gets 3 extra points.

Sorry spa, but it aint no one of those.

1st- shivsood, 10 points

2nd- newyorkstate, 8 points

3rd- The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz, 5 points.

[pilotdaryl 25]

May 19th, 2006:

Newyorkstate got #4 right.  Yes, it's Shanghai Pudong.  How did you guess?  Btw, the Question 5 picture looks fine from my computer.

1st/Gold- newyorkstate, 18 points

2nd- shivsood and spa, 10 points

3rd- The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz, 5 points

[newyorkstate 6]

How did I guess? Heck, half my relatives live in China and I've been there, say... twice? As in, that particular airport! I'd recognize the design! And number five.. Its ok. I crossed it off!

OH! I'm so stupid! Isn't that Vancouver's Air Traffic Control?

[pilotdaryl 25]

Game Record

May 19th, 2006:

Right!  That's my home airport's ATCT.  Whoah, you're really on the win:  That is the first time one member answered two questions (1 pack) in a row.

1st/Gold- newyorkstate, 28 points

2nd- shivsood and spa, 10 points

3rd- The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz, 5 points

Note: Packs are now 3 questions.

Question 6: What was Canada's first International airport?

Question 7: Give me the airport with the IATA code: LIR.

Question 8: Name this airport.  Hint: it's not International, and it's in the Eastern United States..

[Duke87 1,070]

Well, since the filename is "morristownmunicipalairport3wx.jpg", I'd say it's fairly obvious that that's Morristown Municipal Airport in Morristown, New Jersey.

In the future, use more generic filenames like "question8.jpg" or more people are going to pick 'em off easy without having any clue what the answer was beforehand like I did.

You're right, Duke87.  An extra 2 points will be given for that.

1st/Gold- newyorkstate, 28 points

2nd/Silver- shivsood and spa, 10 points

3rd/Bronze- Duke87, 7 points

4th- The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz, 5 points

6 and 7 are still empty, though.  Let's get back to the game!

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

Toronto Pearson Intl. ? And for the other question, I'll say Lima, Peru.

[pilotdaryl 25]

Game Record

May 20th, 2006:  Pearson?  No, it ain't no Pearson.  Lima, Peru isn't right, either.  Say the airport, not the city.

[mightygoose 92]

6. winnipeg YWG

7. only cos i went there lol Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport in Liberia, Costa Rica

[newyorkstate 6]

Aw, man! I was too late! No!

[pilotdaryl 25]

Game Record

May 22nd, 2006:

Sorry I didn't reply, I was so busy at work I didn't have time to check ST.  Likewise mightygoose got them both right.

1st/Gold- newyorkstate, 28 points

2nd/Silver- mightygoose, 20 points

3rd/Bronze- shivsood and spa, 10 points

4th- Duke87, 7 points

5th- The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz, 5 points

Question 9: Now, name this airport.  Name it's city too.

So anyway here's the picture:

Question 10: Name the airline hub of Uzbekistan Airways.  Name the airport, the city, and the country.

Question 11:  Name the airport where the worst aircraft accident in history happened.

I'm changing rules again, now it's every 25 questions, then we see who is 1st/2nd/3rd and see who makes it to the semi-finals, and they will be placed out of regular ranks and into the semi-final ranks, to avoid repeation so that other members can have a chance.  However, you still get to play.

[mightygoose 92]

Q10 Tashkent airport, tashkent, uzbekistan

Q11 los rodeos airport tenerife

May 23rd, 2006:

Actually Mightygoose, you only got 11 right.  Try 10 again.

1st/Gold- mightygoose, 30 points

2nd/Silver- newyorkstate, 28 points

3rd/Bronze- shivsood and spa, 10 points

4th- Duke87, 7 points

5th- The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz, 5 points

Better start competing.  Plus, we're in need of more new players.  About the tie in 3rd place, if it's still tied by the 25th question, then you're both going.

[newyorkstate 6]

Darn! I missed it AGAIN!
