New, Harder Quiz from GhostSniper!

[BTs_GhostSniper]

Okay guys, I am bound and determined to create a quiz that takes somebody more than a day to complete.  So this new and improved quiz will be much harder (I hope!) and should really rack somebody's brain to finish.

AND!  Since this is a much harder quiz, the payoff should be higher too, right!?  As such, the winner of this quiz gets $30.  Just be the first person to post all of the correct answers and you will get $30 mailed out to you that same day!

Here are the questions:

1.  Who holds the distinction of being the last U.S. Air Force pilot to have a fighter-on-fighter aerial victory with a cannon (that means he shot down an enemy fighter with a gun, not a missile)?

2.  Who was the first U.S. President that had been a pilot?

3.  Who was the first living Enlisted Air Force Cross recipient?

4.  At the entrance to the National Memorial in my home city (Oklahoma City) there is a time on the huge arches, what is the time?

5.  Who is the only Medal of Honor recipient who was authorized the medal by a Special Act of Congress?

6.  On what day was the U.S. Army founded (the Army's Official Birthday)?

7.  How many parachute jumps did I make when I was in the Army (lol....you are going to have to ask me, at which time I am going to make you answer another question before I give you the answer to this one--haha! I got smart and have a built-in way to make this last more than a day!)?

8.  What is the largest airplane that has ever flown?

9.  Who was the Minister of Propaganda in the Ghost Militia (|GM|) Clan before it disbanded in late January 2004?

10.  Who was the first Female Space Shuttle pilot, and what combat operation was she involved in before she became an astronaut with NASA?

What do you mean, a REAL pilot?  Anyone who has done a solo in an aicraft is a REAL pilot.  

And just to give you all a little hint, there have been 3 U.S. Presidents who have been pilots.

GS - sent you a PM regarding a possible inaccuracy in question 5.

[BTs_GhostSniper]

The answer to Question Number 5 is a particular person.....several Medal of Honor's were given to unkown soldiers but that isn't what I'm looking for.  Only one was given to a particular person....who was it?

No, actually the plane was the F-4E Phantom II during the Vietnam War.

Congratulations to Crypt for winning the $30!  Crypt has decided to recieve his winnings in the form of an iTunes Gift Certificate so I have gone on the Apple website and purchased one for him.

Good luck in the next quiz everyone!

P.S....Are there any improvements to the quiz anybody would like to see in GhostSniper Quiz Version 4.0?

[crypt]

Yes, TY very much GS, very kind of you to keep these up, although I did miss doing my Resum? while doing your quiz, but who cares.

As for improvements, I'd say do a longer harder quiz with questions that would take a long time. Also say that no submitions will be taken until the next day, since you obviously want them to last longer.

So noted.

Are there not 2 times listed on the arches? 9:01 and 9:03 respectively, leaving the memorial between them a symol for the time in between (explosion at 9:02).

[crypt]

Yes, I had that up before but Ghost told me to just put the time of bombing.

[BTs_GhostSniper]

Yes, that is correct.  The entrance gate says 9:01 and the exit gate says 9:03.  They were made to frame the area where the explosion occured at 9:02.  Crypt did originally put that and then I told him to use the time of the explosion, since that was what was important to me.
