This is fun - You have to land your plane in a European city. Here goes my Friday....

That was quite entertaining and humbling. And to think that my dh is a pilot...it's embarassing to boot.

I need to play with my globe more often.

Thanks for sharing Dania! I'm sending the link to my dh.

My knowledge of Germany and Eastern Europe needs work. I found Round 3...easier.

I like the travelers IQ test too (a little harder because it's worldwide).

I thought I was doing well. Till I found I'd only just scraped into the 80th percentile.

Of course, what's really dumb is to let oneself be suckered into getting on their mailing list. Though I suppose there are worse airlines one could be spammed by. Thank goodness it wasn't Molvanair (<i>Free in-air live entertainment from our national fire-eating champion!

Is this the national airline of Transnistria? I'm sure they wouldn't fly on Moldovian.
Anybody ever been to Transnistria?

I don;t like this game at all. The dots aren't big enough! How can I be off Dublin by 6 miles and off Munich by 9? Obviously it's the right city - the dots are just to small to get the center of.
