One more in the Douglas Aircraft Company series. This cache has two parts:
(1) Solve the FIELD Puzzle, use the checker to get three 6-digit numbers (codes)
(2) Using the codes play the Reverse WhereIGo (RWIG)
The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but is within walking distance just like the others in this series. At the posted coordinates you find information about some of the Tails that Douglas built and scale models on posts. Take a look at the information there to solve the puzzle. All information is from this location. Match the Tails to the Talk.
Enter the puzzle solution in the checker and the three 6-digit codes will be provided. These three 6-digit codes is what you need to play the Reverse WherIGo. The solution will also provide a hint. Use it to your benefit as it was hard to get a good signal at the cache location.
Puzzle Description:
The Field Puzzle: The pictures numbered 1-8 below are airplane tails. You need to match these tails with the text numbered A through H. If picture 1 and text A match, this results in 1A. The order is 1 through 8. For the checker, an example solution looks as follows: 1A2H3D4F5C6B7G8E (the numbers are in sequence). All the information you need is at the posted location.

You can validate your puzzle solution and obtain the code for the R-WIG with certitude.
You need to play the RWIG to find the cache.
Other Information:
The difficulty rating is for the extra effort, the small print at GZ and also for the hide. Terrain is 2.0 because you could make this hard for yourself if you wanted to, but you don't have to. There will be no bushwhacking for the final but there may be some uneven pavement.
Wherigo Instructions:
This Wherigo converts your player into a virtual version of the "Reverse Cache Box" which tells you the distance to the cache, but not the bearing. You may begin your search from any spot in the world using your smartphone or Wherigo compatible GPS to navigate to the cache.
Your task is to find the cache by periodically querying your Reverse Cache Box for the distance to the final location. Try to use your Reverse Cache Box as few times as possible. All instructions and necessary information needed to complete the cartridge is contained within it. The cartridge is multilingual.
To begin, you will have to type three 6-digit numbers into your player. You need to solve the above puzzle and enter the puzzle solution in the checker to get these three 6-digit numbers.
It is suggested that you take the code with you on your journey. It will be needed if it becomes necessary to restart your player for any reason. When you have reached the final, you will be given some statistics on your quest. If you wish, you may enter the details into your log, and also post the number of times you calculated the distance.
At the end of the game, you will be given a personal pass-code which you can enter into the cartridge if you select "create" rather than "play" when you start the cartridge. Save this code, and if you ever wish to create your own reverse cache, you can do so.
Wherigo Cartridge:
The R-WIG cartridge is available to download from the wherigo.com website. We recommend you dowload the latest version onto your apparatus at home during some "downtime" so it is ready for you to use in the field.
The cartridge was created by -Waldmeister-.
-Waldmeister-'s "The first Reverse Cache [WIG]" is the original cache in this family.
