Geocache Description:

FLY TO ME!

Staying with the aviation theme from my previous puzzle, I decided to do an image recognition puzzle with a twist. Firstly you will have to name all the aircraft in the images. However there are some curve balls, so be weary!

The cache is hidden near a place where people go to fly RC models, mostly over weekends. Also there is a surprise for the FTF, or second, please read it's goal.

Once you have found all the names (Tip: full names and designations) you will be able to solve the questions for the final coordinuates.

But, oh yes there's always a but, there are a few extra questions just to keep it interesting.

Often in the field with Aircraft recognition you only have a second or two to see an aircraft. Therefore these images are small making it more interesting.

Use the alphabet A=1 B=2 C=3 but with a twist, you figure it out.

Q1. What is the acronym RWCC.

Q2. How many current operational helicopter squadrons are there in the SA Air Force?

Q3. What where the first helicopters in the SA Air Force used for to combat?

 

A. Image 1 last word first letter - 5. 
B. Image 3 second word first letter -4. 
C. Image 9 last word first letter -14. 
D. Image 5 last letter -22. 
E. Question 3 first word fifth letter - 4. 
F. Image 10 second word(Designation) last letter - 22. 
G. Image 6 last word last letter = G.

T. Image 2 first word third letter - 12. 
U. Image 4 forth word seventh letter - 19. 
V. Image 7 second word first number - 2. 
W. Question 2 answer + 2. 
X. Question 1 second word second letter - 15. 
Y. Image 8 first word eighth letter = Y. 
Z. Image 11 fourth word fourth letter = Z.
