Boston (Logan International) is BOS :)

Northern Europe.
Hmm... apologies again. Perhaps no one can provide the answer accurately.
Here's wild stab in the dark: is it Norway?
It just sort of came to me.. :p
How on earth did you manage to guess that? :p :
Yes, the airport is Bodo, Norway.
Perhaps you can post a more intelligent Q studiose :p :
It wasn't a bad Q; you just gave it away too easily. ;)
Anyway, here's one. :cool:
Now, we all know that about 71% of the Earth's surface is water, and about 29% is land. But:
- Approximately what percentage of the Northern Hemisphere is land?
- Approximately what percentage of the Southern Hemisphere is land?
3% is the allowed error margin.
71% and 29% ? :p
Unfortunately, alas. :pQuote:

Actually, forget that question, it is crap. :) The answer is:
- Approximately 39% of the Northern Hemisphere is land, and
- Approximately 19% of the Southern Hemisphere is land.
I'll ask another one. :D
Which is the most widely spoken indigenous language in South America, with 8-10 million speakers, and many different dialects?
Quechua ? :p

donkey Q:
-where is HOO?
-how far from BOO to HOO (as Edgar flies)
-which 9 countries would he fly over?

Sad question, but I'll take the usual stab in the dark and guess we're back in Australia? :crazy:
not as sad as BOO ! :eek: .
Not quite back in Australia :bandit:
Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam?
Ronald Reagan Intl used to be called Herbert Hoover. You are a sneaky enough SOB to try it! :p
Hell, I'll say Hoover anyway. Maybe there is an airport named after him in his home state. :mark:
Hood River, Oregon????????
Ho Chi Minh is SGN, but Vietnam is correct and close enough (163km) to HOO :up:Quote:
