Help me write 25 Aviation Trivia Questions!

For the average Joe listener, I think your going to have to mix in some
questions that are a bit....easier.

The easy one's like:

Which brother flew the first successful flight of the Wright Flyer?
First person to break the sound barrier (intentionally).
First person to fly the Atlantic Solo.
First woman to fly the Atlantic Solo.
What year did the Wright brothers fly (from the theme of your show, they can
do the math).
Who led a squadron of B-25's on the first bombing of Tokyo?

Most of the questions given so far are great questions, but anyone
non-aviation related would qualify for Jeopardy if they got them right

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!
