Name that Plane

Aerospace Manufacturing and Design welcomes all aircraft enthusiasts to join in the fun and NAME THAT PLANE! Each issue, a new aircraft will be featured in the Aviation Appreciation section. Given a photo and a clue box, readers are encouraged to guess which plane is being described and send in their answers to the AMD staff.

*Prizes include:
1st place – A high-quality model of the featured airplane complete with desk stand and winner’s certificate.

Runners-up (2nd through 5th place) – An AMD consolation prize, which may be hats, pens, T-shirts, or other exciting products for your enjoyment.

Please send your answers via email to Matt Grasson, mgrasson@gie.net, with Aviation Appreciation in the subject line. Only email entries will qualify.

The entry deadline for the October 2012 contest is December 15, 2012, with winners announced in the January/February 2013 issue of AMD.

Have fun, and good luck!

*Contestants may not win the first place prize more than once throughout the duration of the contest, and may only win consolation prizes once per calendar year. Due to the unpredictable nature of postal delivery, prizes will be determined by random drawing from all correct answers received, after a six week waiting period from the issue’s mailing date. The first drawing will name the 1st place winner, followed by four consecutive drawings for consolation prizes. Please send comments or feedback regarding the contest to Matt Grasson, mgrasson@gie.net
