This time, not "Identify the plane" which soon degenerates into a ping-pong match for two.
No, this one is to edify, entertain, and improve your knowledge of things aeronautical, special emphasis on NZ.
RULES:
1. You post the next question if you get the answer right.
2. You may not answer for 3 goes when you get it right
3. If no-one gets it within 3 days, you must post something that someone can get right

Try not to ask something that can be Googled in one easy step, use your imagination!

First question:
How many domestic flights move through Auckland airport every year?

by **Naki** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 10:57 pm

I'll take a wild guess and say 200000.

by **Charl** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 10:59 pm

erm, Naki, per year
EDIT: Naki blooper and I get one free credit on his first question

by **Naki** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 11:04 pm

Yea sorry & whoops :whoops:

- didnt read it properly and I quickly amended my answer but you read it before I changed it.

117,124 domestic flights per year

The was 119850 domestic movements at AA in 2007 both IFR and VFR.

OK it's a trick question, because it's different every year...
the rolling total to March 08 is 119,714.
International is just short of 39,000, total: 158,449.
That equates to around one every 3 minutes, 24/7

That's a lot more than my first guess would've been.

Why did Airbus choose the name Airbus for there company? and what year did they give the go for project A300??

by **Timmo** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 8:38 am

Airbus is/was a word to describe a plane with a certain range and capacity. It wasnt trademarked etc and could also a word that could be spoken in French.

The A300 had its maiden flight in 1972 but was first conceived, in a memorandum of understanding, in September 1967

Thanks Wikipedia >buck<

Well done Timmo. good guess.... :clap:

by **Charl** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 8:57 am

...and a good question, too.
I got as far as as finding out that the German consortium joining the programme in the early days was known informally as "Deutsche Airbus"

by **Timmo** » Sat Apr 26, 2008 11:12 pm
