b) Smoky Joe
c) Water Wagon
d) Noisy Nellie

4.  The four main forces acting on an air plane are: lift, drag, thrust and ...

a) torque
b) altitude
c) weight
d) pull

5.  If you are flying and see another aircraft with its red light to your right and its green light to  your left, in which direction is the other aircraft flying?

Well done mike 5/5 

Stay tuned more to come!

the one with the 707 was luck cause i was not sure if it is smokey joe due the the fact it realy smokes.
i was first with "a" because in one of my aircraft books they say "seven oh seven" but then i tried "water wagon"
i thought this is for the dummies in the test flight for the weight simulation of each pax.

When it says to increase cooling I'm assuming he means in piston airplanes and not turbine, in which case you would increase your airspeed so you would have less of a nose up attitude allowing more airflow into the intake and lowering the CHT.
