Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the following aircraft are the only two to be pictured both on the ground and in the air?

Answer: VC-25A Airforce One & AV-8 Harrier

The VC-25A Airforce One is the only card to include two separate images of the aircraft. The AV-8 Harrier card shows an aircraft in VTOL (vertical take off and landing) approximately ten feet off the ground in the fore, and a second grounded aircraft in the rear.

2. Which is the only category for which there is no "n/a" value listed in the entire deck?

Answer: wing span

In each of the other four categories, there are at least three to four aircraft for which that category is listed as "n/a".

3. The UAV Darkstar is a short-range craft equipped with stealth technology. What does "UAV" stand for?

Answer: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

"Darkstar" is the nickname for the Tier III Minus UAV. It is designed for short-range surveillance missions.

4. Which aircraft included in the deck operated around the clock throughout the Gulf War?

Answer: F/A-18 Hornet

The picture of the F/A-18 Hornet shows the precise moment when the aircraft is breaking the sound barrier.

5. Which of the following cards includes categories listed as "classified"?

Answer: B2 Spirit

Both max speed and range are listed as "classified" for the B2 Spirit. No other card in the deck includes statistics listed as "classified".

Answer: Hypersoar

The Hypersoar dominates with the highest statistics in three of the five categories, namely, max speed (6700mph), max height (130,000ft), and range (17,000miles). It also cannot be won directly by max take-off weight, because that value is listed as "n/a".

7. Which aircraft is hailed as "the premier air battle command and control aircraft in the world"?

Answer: E-3 Sentry (AWACS)

"AWACS" stands for Airborne Warning and Control System. The AWACS is equipped to provide all-weather surveillance, command, control, and communications support.

8. Which aircraft has the lowest achievable max height in the deck?

Answer: AC-130 Gunship

The AC-130 is nicknamed "Sceptre". Equipped with side-firing weapons, it is used for air-to-surface assaults. According to the jet file, it destroyed more than 10,000 enemy trucks during the Vietnam War.

9. Which aircraft is said to be the fastest and highest flying production aircraft?

Answer: SR-71 Blackbird

Though the Hypersoar is clearly superior in terms of max speed and max height compared to the Blackbird, the former is not a production aircraft. The SR-71 Blackbird has a max height of 85,000ft and a max speed of 2,200mph.

10. Which card shows the most number of airborne aircraft?

Answer: T-38 Talon

At least twenty-two aircraft can be seen in the photograph of the F-14A Tomcat, but only one is airborne. The T-38 is a jet trainer, and it has the lowest max take-off weight (12,500lbs) and wing span (25ft) in the deck. There are four airborne aircraft in the photograph.
