Geocache Description:


The puzzle National Pride has shown us that, among other things, national flags are flown high throughout the world as symbols of national pride.

Similarly, as they travel to the far corners of the globe, airlines often serve as symbols of national pride.

To solve this puzzle you will not be searching for flags. Instead, can the emblematic pride of the following airlines and some basic mathematics point you in the right direction?

The posted co-ordinates are fake. There is absolutely no need to go there; also it would be extremely dangerous.

Instead the cache can be found at the following co-ordinates:

You can check your solution to the puzzle at Geochecker.com.

IMPORTANT: Once you have got success from the geochecker you will need to add 0.007 to the East minutes as the cache had to be moved 10.5 metres due East (the previous hiding place was completely removed).

Whether you make your attempt during the day or at night make sure you stop a moment and enjoy the sights and sounds of the aviation industry after finding the cache. Unfortunately there is no writing implement in place so please bring your own. Also please ensure that you rehide the container as you found it.

Happy Hunting!
