2014 Spring-Summer Event on finals
« on: March 25, 2014, 07:17:31 pm »
Time to prepare yourselves for our next event!

But this time too it's guessing first, flying next, so don't start your engines yet. Moreover, being a little frustrated that you guessed too quickly the previous event, I'll try to make it a little trickier this time (evil grin).

First clue, however, should be (relatively) easy to figure out:

Well spotted Bruce, Phoenix it is indeed. Now how about clue #2?

No doubt... must be Singapore, with the Sepreme Court building with it's spacy rooftop!
No clue what so ever, where it's leading to!
A third hint perhaps.....?

Glad to help Peter, here is clue #3 - but beware, things are getting a little abstract here:


And yes, as you - both - guessed, previous clue was Singapore all right!

No idea... but maybe it's referring to "silver"?

David's suggestion is going the right way but not quite to the right spot, so here comes clue #4 (but I must warn you that if it seems too easy to be true then... it probably isn't):

Still, haven't got the faintest idea, so a wild guess it is: Camelback Mountain, Phoenix, Arizona!

Please, don't make it to hard on us, Andrei! ;)

Sorry guys, I have two more and I cannot promise it's going any easier. However, what I do promise is that this week-end the whole truth will be revealed.

In the meantime, here goes the next clue.

Last and final shot, Andrei:

Has it got anything to do with these two airlines: Northwest Airlines (compass pointing north-west), a major United States airline founded in 1926 and absorbed into Delta Air Lines (camel and pyramid) by a merger, which made Delta the largest airline in the world.

The link between Phoenix, Singapore and the tastefully looking cake remains a riddle to me, however.

EuroHarmony is commerating the 25th Anniversary of the Boeing 747-400 series jumbo airliner?

Clues:
(1) 25th Birthday Cake signifies the introduction of the -400 series 747 in 1989
(2) Phoenix AZ was the destination of the first in service flight of the 747-400 (departed Minneapolis)
(3) The Compass pointing Northwest, Northwest Airlines was the launch customer of the 747-400
(4) Singapore was the departure airport for the first "International" flight of the 747-400 by Singapore Airlines (Singapore to London)
(5) Camel (ignoring the pyramid) representing a clue as to the "hump" shape of all 747 aircraft.

Shot in the dark but at least some of the clues fit the theory.
Cheers all!

Nooo! Definitely you are way too good for my humble clues! Next time I will post only blank "pictures" and maybe you will not be able to guess  ::)

To be more precise, Scott managed to perfectly see through ALL my clues and is 6 times right (5 for the clues and one for the general idea).

Stay tuned for the event details, it will most likely be published this week-end.

Andrei

And I thought the compass meant a 50 degree W variation ...
That would need to be quite near the pole. But probably somewhere in Siberia, or so.

Congratulations, Scott! You're too good for this game ;)

Ha actually yes.  ;D  It was the Singapore clue that kinda through me off. I felt the "first international flight" explanation was the weakest of my theories. When the compass appeared I had less doubt.  ;)

The event is now live.

Just for the kicks, this should have been my final clue (if Scott had not guessed everything already), what do you do of it? It could be very easy... or not, depending on how much attention you pay to details.

Waiting for Dom or E-J on this one, I think it's only natural to add a KATL-KPAE timetable flight but the timetable is one thing I never messed with  8) so I am not quite sure how to do it.

On the other hand gentlemen, is it me or no one did reply to my final clue in the previous message?

I have no idea about your last clue, Andrei. Not even with the knowledge of the answer of the overall riddle, let alone if I did not know it was about the 744.
What I did manage is to punch in a KATL KPAE flight (and back, just o be sure no-one ends up stranded there after the event). Made it a Class 6 flight, so pilots can choose from a wider variety. Will be 744 for now, of course, but after the event ...

Aah, so I finally got you on this one... this should have been my "killer clue".

As stated previously, this could actually be a very easy one... but probably not for seasoned EHM pilots who do not visit often the fleet pages nowadays:
