Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where was Air Force One flying back from?

Answer: Manila

They discussed coming from Manila when trying to figure out the time change, and later Toby mentioned having sent Will to the Philippines in his place.

2. At what time was Colombia's re-certification due?

Answer: midnight

Not only was the re-certification due at midnight, but according to statute, President Bartlet had to be briefed in person.

3. Which of Air Force One's wheels might have been locked?

Answer: front

When the President was briefed for the first time, he was told that they weren't sure if the front wheels were locked or not because the light wasn't working.

4. Who tried to comfort President Bartlet over the phone by telling a story about a friend landing a plane off which the wheels had fallen?

Answer: Leo

Leo also seemed dismissive about the severity of losing an indicator light.

Answer: The press would see the fighter plane out their windows.

C.J. contemplated that for a moment and said simply, "That's going to take some thought."

6. What do they decide to tell the press happened on the runway?

Answer: fuel spill

C.J. asked Will for some "tarmac jargon" and he suggested that they say it was a runway incursion, more specifically a fuel spill.

7. Who did C.J. call first after being told about the friendly fire deaths in Kuhndu?

Answer: Leo

She went immediately to the phone and asked that signal page Leo McGarry with a call holding.

8. What were Josh and Republican Congressman Tom Landis working to clean up?

Answer: Chesapeake Bay

They were cooperating on the bill, but it was going to cause some rumbling among Democrats.

9. What did the Democrat Congressmen in the hallway tell Josh some Democrats called the Bartlet re-election?

Answer: The Lonely Landslide

The Congressmen were angry that Josh was helping a vulnerable Republican instead of trying to get a Democrat in his seat. They also suggested that Bartlet had wanted a Republican Congress. It seemed they felt that though Bartlet had won in his re-election, he wasn't taking any other Democrats with him.

10. Toby told Leo that another snag in keeping the problem with Air Force One a secret was that there was a Wire Service reporter on the ground at Andrews whose job was to report what?

Answer: wheels down time

Leo put Toby's concern in perspective by reminding him that 20 White House reporters were about to see a fighter jet outside their windows.

11. What area was Air Force One going to be over when the fighter jet came?

Answer: Blue Ridge Mountains

Will told C.J., Ed, and Larry that they'd be over Harper's Ferry in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Ed and Larry then dove onto the Internet to try to find something out the other side of the plane with which to distract the press.

12. Who did President Bartlet ask to give him the briefing on Colombia's re-certification?

Answer: Will

When the President asked him to do it, Will wondered if he wouldn't rather have someone from State do it instead. The President told him that the briefing had to be in person, though, so Will agreed to do it.

13. After C.J. and Will told the President their plan for distracting the press, President Bartlet asked, "It gonna work?" How did Will respond?

Answer: "I don't see how it possibly can fail."

Will was, of course, being somewhat facetious with this remark, as the plan seemed less that airtight. C.J. looked uncomfortable with the situation as well, but didn't speak up.

14. C.J. told the press about the light event out the left side of the plane in an attempt to distract them.

Answer: False

C.J. made Will do it because, according to her, she screwed with the press all the time so they wouldn't believe her. The attempt failed, though, and the reporters quickly discovered the fighter jet.

15. Who ordered that the phones in the press cabin be turned off?

Answer: C.J.

C.J. seemed uncomfortable with having to impede the press, but knew it was for the best.
