Det, MI R2 Member Trivia Game

well i think i have waited long enough for someone to answer so i'm going to go ahead and say the Detroit Red Wings.

 

Well, right you are. Tag, you're it.

 

out of all the bounty hunters in star wars who is my favorite?

 

Going by the quotes, Boba Fett (the man).

 

sorry midget a very,very,very, close second.

 

Jango Fett

 

The blasty baddest of all the bounty hunters: GREEDO!!!!

 

piett you are correct. it's always close between jango and boba but the original bounty hunter takes it by a hair. your up kyle.

 

I am currently helping a re-enacting group with a project to build a 1:1 scale aircraft.
What is the organization and what is the name of the aircraft?

 

C_P, how about a hint?

 

Since you do World War II things, is the aircraft a P-51 Mustang or a P-47 Thunderbolt?

 

Mike, think more across the ocean.
Jon, look in my sig line for a hint.

 

Well it's german thats for sure!

 

Ok. It's obvious that you need a few hints:
For the organization, just click on the link and investigate.
For the aircraft (here comes a Piett history lesson):
This was one of the very few rocket-powered aircraft actually used in combat. This particular aircraft was Produced late-war by the Messersmitt company to intercept allied bombers at high altitudes. It is mostly known for being more dangerous to its pilots than the enemy because it was fueled by two substances that explode on contact, destroying the craft if it is shot or crashes.
If you really want to do some research, you can find some of the few remaining origonals in the Eighth Air Force Museum and the Royal Air Force Museum in Cosford. You can find original documents on this aircraft in the records of the Imperial War Museum.

Hope that helps,

Society of Aircraft Restoration, and the Me-163 Komet?

 

Close enough, sence SOAR is listed on the website.
It was actually the Luftwaffe Aircrew Reenactors Association. The aircraft, to be technical, was the Me-163-B1-a "Komet"

Your turn Mike!
-Piett

 

I know the Komet from an old computer game, Chuck Yeager's Air Combat. It sucked.

Alrighty, what is going to be my major in college?

 

Industrial Basket Weaving?

 

Retail Services

 

Steve, I thought about it but then I realized I wouldn't want to show you up in your own career.

Nope, Phelps, not that either.

It's one of two fields that a person can really be a nerd about.

 

Now how can you compare Industrial Basket Weaving to Professional Couch Potato? Mine is the ultimate job!

 

Dude, there are way more than two fields that a person can be a nerd about ... look at the lot of us! We have history nerds, computer nerds, math nerds, beer nerds, book nerds, rock nerds, volcano nerds, space nerds, sports nerds, random trivia nerds, nerd nerds ...... not to mention the fact that we are all partially star wars nerds (in varying degrees)!

 

Well, it was one of the ones you mentioned and it's a college major.

 

Ok, I'm going with history, as I know it is something that you are very interested in.

 

You didn't mention engineering, so I'll go with majoring in Computers.
