I need some suggestions for aviation trivia questions, pronto! Who
better
but you guys and gals to ask, no? :-)
Why? We've decided to do a month-long radio contest in January, on our
most
popular local radio station, promoting our aviation theme inn. It's
going
to be called "the '100th Anniversary of Flight Trivia Contest',
sponsored
by
the Alexis Park Inn & Suites", and will run every day at prime "drive
time".
Daily winners will each receive a FREE night in one of our aviation
theme
suites. (It'll be something along the lines of "the tenth correct caller
wins...)
Thus, every day, for 25 days, the announcer will ask a different
aviation
trivia question that must be (a) interesting to the non-flying public,
(b)
hard enough to weed out the riff-raff, and (c) easy enough so that
someone
can actually win! Ideally, the questions should relate to the theme
of
our suites in some way...
So, have at it! No one knows aviation trivia like you guys, so fling
some
questions at me! (And answers would be good, too? :-)
Thanks!
