Okay, here’s the next one. I’m looking for the military or the civilian designations on this one, as some civilian variants were also used by the military.
Although, no matter who used it, I don’t think the designers had envisaged this particular task! Hmmm, would caddying fall under the category of miscellaneous duties?
(I know, there’s a separate helo forum, but to keep things simple I’m going to keep all the quizzes here.)
Anyhoo, as usual, submit replies via the email button below. I’ll give the answer next weekend-ish (January 24th/25th).
I’m going to start editing the first post in each quiz in two ways.
I’ll keep a running score of total replies vs. correct replies at the end of the post.
When the quiz is over I’m going to add a notice to that effect to the beginning of the post because I’m still getting replies for quizzes that have ended!
That’s not so bad in and of itself, but some of them have been wrong even after the answer had been given! [D)]
Tip: Go through the WHOLE thread before you respond!
OH, and bonus kudos if you can identify the golfer!!
(hint: he wasn’t a professional golfer)
(another hint: “YIPE!!”)
Dangit, the enlarge feature ain’t workin’ again! Here’s a link to the larger image.
Here’s another hint for the airplane only guys. It’s called a “helicopter”.
I doubt Mickey Rooney would be flying that. Mickey would be one of the golfers off camera complaining about and questioning the necessity of the whole stunt. Mickey - “Now is that really necessay? Here we are on the golf course…”
Mickey rooney was the japanese man in Breakfast at Tiffany’s with “Ms. Horry Gorightry”, right?
Hmmm… I don’t think i got the golfer right… Adam Sandler? maybe not… [;)]
You had the right genre, this guy was a comedian. I’ll give another hint. He was a HUGE star back in the 30’s, 40’s and into the 50’s, long before Sandler was even a twinkle in his mother’s eye.
I don’t usually put labels on things (or people) like best, worst and really mean it. But, in my opinion, this fella was the best radio comedian with the best radio comedy EVER. I’ll throw out some more hints, cuz this is getting to be more fun than the helo…
[(-D][(-D][(-D]Quagmyre, you were right on with your Andy Rooney! That’s hilarious, I can just picture him sitting at his desk and giving that commentary while holding this picture…
Well, I dunno for sure on either. Definately not the time, though I’d guess the late 40’s early 50’s. The location, most likely, was the Hillcrest Country Club across Pico Blvd from the 20th Century Fox Studios; that’s where this fella usually played.
Your’e wrong - To the Air Force, they are helicopters, to the Navy, they are rotary wings, to the Army, they are fling wings and to the Marines they are Uh! Uh! Uh! (as they point to them). hehehe lol
Geez, this one is turning out a bit different than I had envisioned! I knew the helo would be easy, and you guys are almost acin’ this one. But I’m quite surprised that, of nine guesses, six folks got the golfer. Although, we do have quite an age cross-section here, so maybe that’s it. Either that or some legends die hard…
