Aviation Trivia Round
 

At the local bar, I will hosting trivia with a few friends and have decided on an aviation-themed round (surprise).

Need help in coming up with ideas for questions, layout, in order for it to be accessible to the general public. As in, nothing that only a pilot would know...

Any ideas?

Start from the beginning and work forward?

Where was the first flight? How long was the first flight? Where are O+W from? What was their original occupation.
