I Wish You Would

Dang it..ya beat me to it, by 1 minute lol

JG300-fr8ycat

I almost blew it by not being logged in the first time, LOL

You could have said the "Guest reply" was you.......

"I wish you would"

DING DING DING!!!!!

Third time must be the charm - we have a WINNER!!!!

Okay, fr8ycat, now it works like this:

- PM me the mailing address you want your prize shipped to- I'll get it in the mail to ya!

- YOU now, as the winner, have the option of continuing the contest! Or, you can choose to pass if you like, and hope someone else steps up to the plate. But, if you choose to pass, you MAY forfeit your prize (it's up to the person that asks the question - motivation thing y'know...).

You need:

1) A Challenge Question - anything will do, any subject, but if in some way related to stuff here the better, and obviously better targeted toward the demographic we have - note that I tied in Bush's missing companion with some music that most folks in our rough generation might know - with a challenge.

Doesn't have to be anything too fancy so don't get a brain cramp over it - have fun!

2) Something you are willing to mail - and is mail-legal, obviously. Live ammo rounds or organic material are....bad.

Just think of it - if this goes as expected, we'll all have something personal in some way from one of the crazy lunatics we fly with and talk to 'round here. A token to remember these days by, if you will (sniff).....all for the price of a stamp, and a laugh!

You're up!

(and..LMAO, that was close!!!! I saw how quick your guess was posted after you logged in, Hitman, pretty fast draw there.....COOL!)

OOHH YYEEEAAAHHHH!

Now my setup is complete.

1) Fender "Nashville" Telecaster with the "Tex-Mex" pickups.
1) Fender "Blues Junior" Amp

And 1 Signiture Series "SS" (Stoopy Stank) guitar pick.

The neighbors will be packin their bags and puting the for sale sign up once they get a load of the Stanky music coming from my garage.

JG300-Stoopy

OMG How BEAUTIFUL IS THAT!!?!!?

NICE equipment you have there! Very nice! I'll keep it all in the family so to speak and round up a Fender Medium (I got fickle and changed brands lately). Should be pre-stanked on Surf and Blues for ya's...good luck with the next round Mr. Winner!

CrashEd

JG300-Ascout

I sense the awesome forces of "Google" were at work here.... Laughing

JG300-Stoopy

Heheh....I checked just after posting, and actually the solution did not seem easily "Googled" - many, many wild goose chases occured for me. Still, yup anything is possible when the stakes are this high.... nevertheless, credit where credit's due: fr8ycat earned this fabulous prize!

Better be careful or he might whip up a real stinker for his round.....

Torquemada

As I am given to understand that young fr8ycat is rather ...errr.... busy at the moment, spending some time on my rack as penance for a certain ale-coveting offense, I have opted to submit the next round of this highly amusing pastime in his stead....I expect he will be up and walking again in a few weeks. In the meantime, enjoy:

Round Two:

Subject: Aviation History

First, you shall need to know two items of trivia:

A) The country which is the subject of this thread:
com-central.net/index....amp;t=1720

B) The state in which the incident decribed in this thread, happened in:
com-central.net/index....amp;t=1805

Now here is the puzzle - Name this aircraft:

This aircraft is unique in that it is the first American land-based patrol plane ever designed expressly for that purpose. Both of it's predecessors were built - by the same manufacturer - as transports. The aircraft's versatility is evident from the many missions this aircraft was called on to perform.

For armament, this vessel carried six 12.7 mm machine guns in addition to mountings for up to sixteen underwing rockets. This aircraft assumed patrol duties shortly after the "The Big One" and saw first combat use during the conflict used as the setting for your once-popular television show M*A*S*H.

The most infamous one of all was given a name something along the lines of "Unreasonably-Argumentative Terrapin", and, over the course of 3 days, flew non-stop without refueling, from Point A (first item mentioned above) to point B (second item mentioned above) - a record setting distance of over eleven thousand miles. This record stood almost forty years until Burt Rutan's "Voyager" circled the globe non-stop in 1986.

1) Pray tell, what aircraft is this? (Include the Manufacturer, Model and Name)
2) What was the actual nickname of the aircraft that made the record-setting flight?
3) (Extra Credit) - what animal went along on the flight?

The first Com-C member posting the answer to items 1), 2) and optionally 3) here shall be the winner!

But - lest ye think this easy, unlike JG300-Stoopy I opt to withhold the winnings until the winner submits THEIR trivia question here, along with a prize of negligible value, in order to keep this remarkable contest of wits going - so answer only if ye be stout of heart and committed!

And speaking of the prize, the bounty that I offer to the winner is this:

A FREE copy of this extremely rare repaint for David Copely's remarkable P-38L Lightning for FS2004. Obtained by special consignment of a repaint artisan, and at considerable cost to myself, this is my own custom P-38 Lightning "The Cardinal's Sin" which represents a peacetime version of my main steed in the CFS arenas. Currently there is only ONE copy in existence in the Known World and it is on my computer device only. Be the envy of your flight-simming friends and invoke fear into the hearts of heretics and blasphemers around the globe.

For the extra credit, I shall provide a free toothpick which you may insert underneath a fingernail, puncture yourself, or abuse yourself in any variety of amusing and cleansing ways.

I shall provide a temporary download link for the Cardinal's Sin repaint via PM to the winner, and shall mail the toothpick should an address be provided.

Best of Luck to ye Gentlemen!

1) It is the Lockheed P2V-7 Neptune
2) The nickname of the plane that went from Perth, Australia to Columbus, Ohio was the "Truculent Turtle".
3) They brought along a kangaroo.

(gotta love google :mrgreen:)

You are correct, Sir!

I still would like to imagine that even with the luxury of a search engine, you didn't find the answer immediately! Razz

Nevertheless you have all answers correct and are the winner. My congratulations to you.

I shall make the bounty ready and prepare the toothpick for shipment, in anticipation of your submittal for the next round....well done!

Yeah, you're right, it took three or four serches before I figured it out Wink

You shoulda left out the part about MASH (and thereby the Korean War), that would've given me another two or three seraches Mr. Green

I've already got my prize picked out for the next question, now I just need a question to go with it

Stay tuned!
