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?
