Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Purdue Boilermakers Geoart Series, presented by 13RPoor. This series is the first geoart series in the Fort Wayne area. 13RPoor is a proud Purdue alumni, and obsessive Purdue sports fan! Coordinates are not at posted location. In this series, you will be required to answer trivia-type questions about Purdue University to find the true coordinates; including university history, traditions, and sports. Most answers can be found with a google search, while some might take a little bit more research to find the answer (don’t worry, 13RPoor is a nice fellow and will help a struggling cacher). Lots of hours were put into making everything for this series, so please do your part to take care of the caches by replacing them as you found them, watching out for muggles, and CITO. PLEASE POST DNF’s TO ALERT ME OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS!!!! I hope you enjoy the series as much as I enjoyed making the series. Remember, Geocaching may be dangerous! Boiler Up, Hammer Down, Hail Purdue!

Purdue University has it's own airport, and in fact it was the first university owned airport in the United States. Historically, the airport has been used to train military pilots, had commercial flights flying in and out (and Purdue is trying to bring back commercial flights), and even got a visit from Air Force One when Ronald Reagan visited Purdue University on April 9, 1987. Did you know Purdue University even had its own airline, Purdue Airlines, until 1971? Amelia Earhart prepared her airplane for her around-the-world flight attempt in Hangar 1 at the airport.

Question: True or False? Purdue University Airport is the second busiest airport in the state of Indiana?

A)True- N41 00.963 W085 00.015
B)False- N41 01.000 W084 59.880
