EuroGA Quiz Night 27 July 2021

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated. But it would be no fun at all if you guys didn’t turn up, so thanks for joining!

Congratulations to Snoopy the winner (and only person to get more than 50% of the answers correct). Snoopy who is already instrument rated, very kindly donated his prize (the digital books from cb-ir.net ) to the person in second play which was Capitaine. That was very generous of you!

I’m aware that it took a while to mark the questions which meant it got quite late, and that some people had to leave. So I’ll post the answers here when I get a change (probably later this evening).

4 In 1935, before crossing the altantic was a common occurance, a pilot applied to the FAA to be allowed make a non-stop flight from the USA to Europe. He was refused permission, because the FAA said his aircraft was too unstable for the flight. So instead the pilot got an expermental permission for a transcontential flight from from California to New York and back to California in 1939. He subsequently stated that after he took off on the return leg from New York, that he entered a cloud and got disoriented and made the most basic of all pilot’s errors and mixed up east and west. 28 hours later he landed in Ireland.

I’m delighted that so many enjoyed it. I think it’s definately a good job that I’m asking the questions rather than answering! I very much doubt that I’d have gotten more than 10 of them.

Nobody had morre than half the answers right, going into the final round.
Very impressivly, Guy managed a perfect 10 in the final round; the only person to do that on any round.

By way of examinging the difficulty of the questions, there were only 13 correct answers in round 1-airports. There were 26 correct answers in round 2 -aircraft. 41 correct answers in round 3 general knowledge. Round 4 logos, had 38 correct answers. Round 5 unscramble the words had 33 correct answers, and round 6, match the forum members to their vehicles had 51 correct answers.

Once again, thanks to those who participated and made it an enjoyable evening. Thanks to those who offered a photo of their vehicle for the quiz. And thanks to CB-IR.net for donating te prize.

Another diabolically difficult quiz – thank you Dublinpilot.

I had microphone problems at the end and don’t want to be ungrateful, so a thank you also to ErlendV for donating the books and to anagram-meister Snoopy for passing on the prize. Looking forward to reading them
