Ok this one is possibly going to be quite trivial (I like to call it Warren style winkyy.gif

Clue 1) -40.200011
Clue 2) 175.38233
Clue 3) One of these things doesn't belong here

Question- What is it?

(if this is doesnt work/no one gets it, ill change it)

Yea Eagle took over Air Centrals fleet & routes when they went kaput - they didn't keep the Mitsis and 402s for long as they were traded in for more Cheftains and Bandits.

QUOTE
At one point the Navy was actually considering the F-15 (which would have been the better choice) , however, due to the design of the aircraft, it could not be fitted with folding Wings and Landing Gear that could survive the Hard Carrier Landings.

Instead the contract was awarded to both companies. The F-15 Eagle for the Air Force and the F-14 Tomcat for the Navy.[/quote]

Am I right?
